P -
I was telling my therapist about your post on art therapy and I said, "She goes to analysis FIVE times a week -- and works fulltime. I don't know how she does it!"
He looked at me sort of amazed for a minute and then said, "but you come 3 or 4 times a week and we talk on the phone on fridays -- and you work day and night - - so..so...are you telling me you are finding this too hard?"
I swear I opened and closed my mouth 10 times and then just laughed at myself. And then of course went right back to it with "do YOU think I come too much?" Which led to a great discussion of his opinion that each person needs a different level of support at different times and he thinks we should all be flexible and not put value judgements on therapy. So "no, he didn't think I was coming too much". And "no, he wasn't sick of me". And "no, he wasn't planning on backing me off anytime soon".
"Next question!" (I think he likes to say that now.) :)
