You need a new therapist.
You will stop when you are ready, true. But if you have some underlying psych issue Steve, a good therapist will work with you, not just be a good 'listener'.
I don't post as much and when I do it is the SAME STORY: A manipulative addict holding you emotionally hostage. We've all been there but prolonged stress is so physically unhealthy in addition to being emotionally sabotaging.
IF you admitted that you enjoy the roller coaster then maybe that would be a step in the right direction.
