hi kara lynne,
> I don't think it did anything for me. I went in there talking about feeling desperate, and not wanting to call my ex from that state. He asked me what I was feeling desperate about, as my ex really filled little need for me, and went on about my waiting for prince charming to come rescue me.

I think I will use our last session to speak my piece about it--I think...as if i, who has not had therapy, would know, but how is that beneficial to you when he invalidates your feelings of desparation by trivializing your interaction/relationship with your ex?
i mean even if therapy-guy feels his input is insightful and analytical, how is that value to be conveyed if offered in the form of an argument ... ... or, more accurately i think ... in the form of a put down ?
how are his suggestions different from being demeaned for having your feelings?i think you should, IF you feel like it, ask him about it ... ... or blow him off ...
TAKE CARE !!!
