Dear gardenergirl, my heart goes out to you. You have summed up your feeling in a clear, articulate manner. Can you call him and try to get into see him? I know how difficult that can be, I hate to ask for what I need and fear rejection. I need to call my therapist about something and, rationally, realize its perfectly ok to do but I am afraid. Maybe we can both take a chance.

Once, or more than once, I have had to "confront" my therapist with somewhat similar issues. Something he said made me think he wanted to get rid of me, one time I thought he could only accept certain parts of me (he reassured me that was not so) and what I learned is that he really didn't know how his words, tone, etc. had affected me. And, worse, that I had misinterpreted. So, I would get into this whole cycle of "well, you're rejecting me, so I don't want to talk to you, etc." Old stuff. But, I guess my point is, until I told him that how he acted/talked affected me in this negative way, he was clueless! If I hadn't brought it up, I think we would have built a wall between us; a wall made out of my resentment. Good luck. I'm going to make that phone call before I chicken out. Widget
