Good for you! I've done that once before and if you got to that point, it was probably a very good decision.

A1- I've been there too. My advice is to actually discuss the topic with your therapist. Apparently there is actually a term for this in therapy and therapists are trained to deal with this. A lot of my good friends are therapists and most say that they are very impressed if a patient is with it enough to realize that this could be a good option. Sorry that is your situation. Good luck.

My issue was I was in damage control all week last week and told him I didn't have time to deal with the health insurance shit he needed done but I'd have it next week. He spends half the session bitching about it to the point where I had to tell him "Rob I fucking got it and like I said I'll do it for next week, but once again I had a (redacted, but it's a big fucking deal) to damage control and haven't had time" in a very aggressive tone and he backed off. Then he bills me for it regardless. Note that the first session him and I agreed to an insurance free price as well. I couldn't look past how I was just a number to him

So a "therapeutic rupture" is more like when damage has been caused to the therapist-client relationship and you address it and try to mend it. I think that this is what the term is that I had in mind and it may or may not be applicable to your case. One thing that I have learned over the years is that if you want to change therapists, you therapists should give you referrals to other people who could be a better "fit."

I want to but I also don't want to have to start from scratch with someone new

Any idea what the term is?

Like I took two days off dealing with this shit last week and was expecting to discuss it with him but instead I get a bitchy lecture on dumb insurance forms that I told him I'd have for this weeks session

That sucks, P1- sorry you had to go through that.

Fuck therapy. I'm tired of people telling me I'm broken. I can take that $80 a session and spend it on a month worth of (redacted because don't want to be identified) classes and those classes clear my head and actually work. Bitching at a guy for an hour doesn't do shit for me.

OP- there is actually very good science to back up what you just said. The book the body keeps score discusses this science

Hello! I’m an LMSW in Michigan with 15 years experience in the field doing case management, supervision, and administrative roles. All of my experience has happened in the CMH or VA health system, so needless to say, I am feeling burned out. I have flirted many times with private practice therapy work, but never taken the plunge due to concern about healthcare benefits from my spouse. Is it worth it to make the change? Are we overthinking it?

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!
