Antigua,
my therapist is a p-doc.......and I often leave like you...but he is respectful, empathic and nurturing to an extent....and some days I like him and some days I am not sure...
Mine says we have made progress and I think we have.. I am not sure if I like the progress. You know about the stronger part...I guess now I am not sure I even like getting stronger...I feel i have been stronger just in even getting where I am...
The thing your p-doc said about walking out...well I could say that about mine and mean it. I could leave him now and maybe I would miss him and maybe I would not. I guess maybe we should switch p-doc. I don't want to form a dependent relationship. Mine thinks we should. I wonder if sometimes we hook with the doc and then discover how they work and sometimes it is not how we operate. Because it sounds like mine might suit you better and vice versa. However, that being said. I know sometimes you must go out of your comfort zone.
It sounds though like you have by staying with him. Maybe you can email him if you can't call him. I have emailed mine. I guess yours though with all his rules would not respond. Maybe you should try and get him to see that sometimes rules are made to be broken......and sometimes in therapy it isn't about him
ok now I have talk myself into being mad at him for his treatment of you......... rsk
