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

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here.
