Marie -
Is this a book you're referring to? I didn't mean to necessarily suggest that you not return to therapy, just that you probably shouldn't with this guy unless you are really prepared to make a commitment. I had a therapist/pdoc for 2 years or so when I ended the therapy part. It was really hard and I did keep going back to him in short stretches mostly when I felt in sort of a crisis. It was helpful, but it wasn't really therapy and was probably a waste of money alot of the time. When I did really feel like I was ready to work on things, I wanted a different approach and my pdoc recommended my current therapist. I don't mean to suggest that this was seamless - it wasn't. I think it was probably okay for me to take a break and at the time I was really feeling the crunch financially. It's amazing how much disposable income you seem to have when you're not paying therapy bills. But it was hard not to have that continuous connection. Feel free to rant and vent any time.
