I have been impressed that you didn't walk away sooner.

All I can say is that when I first started with my current therapist, he said "You are a professional patient. You want to be depressed." I was livid. Madder than you are. I denied it and argued for weeks. Then he sort of let it lie for a while. But he came back to it every once in a while. And I hated it everytime he mentioned it. Eventually, though, it turned out that he was right. It took me a long, long time to come to that realization, and it was painful every step of the way. But I'm really glad that I kept walking and fighting with him. Because it has made all the difference.

I'm certainly not saying that it is fun. And I was pretty angry an awful lot. But I knew that he cared, and I knew that he believed in his ability to help me. And so I stuck it out (that plus the fact that it takes a major earthquake to make me change direction once I get started with someone).

I don't know if the same thing would happen to you if you stuck with her. But I don't know that it wouldn't.

And I wish greater peace and happiness for you.
