Antigua,
You sound overwhelmed :-( I'm sorry if I contributed to it with my own baggage. You wanted feedback about your pdoc, but it really cant be easy for you to integrate such feedback into a concrete, realistic plan for your therapy. And that's where you know more than anyone, including what your goals are. It sounds to me as though important goals have not yet been reached for you. I personally would not want to go through life with questions like that looming. Thats why Im in therapy.I can totally empathize with the conclusion you reached, sometimes that is mine as well, particularly when I am frustrated and hurting. But that is only one conclusion that can be reached from where you are. There are others. Its not black and white, there are shades of grey. You can accept those productive connections and realizations you have been making and not have them lead to a single inescapable conclusion. One thing you see all the time on Babble is the advice to take things slowly, in baby steps. Im sure you can figure out how to apply that to your situation. Also, you can take time out, take the time you need to re-equilibrate or just catch a breather. Things have been very intense for you lately, Antigua. Maybe you should focus on what feels good for you right now and not feel you have to make any major decisions just yet. I also wonder whether your DHs feelings about your therapy may be playing a role here. Are you feeling pressured?
Lets keep the conversation going...

Love,
Lucie
