When I tried to terminate therapy with my p-doc after 6 years, I found a quote from Glen Gabbord's text on psychodynamic therapy that the therapist must join in the patient's dance. I bought him an African stone sculpture of two figures dancing and a card with that quote in it, saying "thank you for dancing with me." He was very touched. Unfortunately, I was back six months later with severe depression. But I still remember that card and quote. A good therapist enters the patient's "dance," is flexible and moves with the patient. Your therapist sounds like a great dancer.
