i think i did know that but i had forgotten. it's very interesting and relevant.

i don't want to run away and i also don't want to be masochistic. as much as i would like to be angry at this therapist, and would love to believe she is awful and unprofessional, i really think she wasn't so bad. she definitely made some mistakes but she mostly copped to them immediately and without much defensiveness.

i still worry that she wasn't helping me enough, that that sort of talk therapy can't really help me at this point. and since it causes suffering, the payoff seemed to indicate that termination would be best.

anyway, it's confusing.

In the end, I was running away from my fears, not her. But she admitted to me when I established contact again that "it takes years to become a therapist".
