Hi Dinah, lifetime therapy is a great promise. I don't know if I actually will take up my T's offer, but at the moment any talk of termination throws me into a spin, so we solve the problem by saying there will be no end. However I am not altogether against the idea of carrying on regardless. I find therapy a wonderful place for coming to grips with what is going on in my life, and that is something that is not related only to this difficult moment in my life. I wish I'd had a place like this all the way through. I think the cost factor is the only thing that would dissuade me.

I love this. I shall have to see how my T responds to this.
I also think Dr Bob gets a lot of flack for a thankless task. Unless maybe he is writing a wonderful treatise on us and our progress, and so is getting something back in terms of fresh case studies every day. But even so....
Please Dr Bob, don't take any notice of what I have just said. I'm counting on you for my old age. :-)
