How to graduate from therapy when I disagree with my therapist on positive thinking?
Question:
Now, I don't feel depressed or anxious and I want to graduate from therapy. But here is the problem: My therapist believes in "positive thinking," and I don't. Maybe that makes me a pessimist. If so, oh well. But I don't believe in thinking "things will work out," because in many cases and for many people they don't. I think that right now things look likely to work out for me personally. But I think blindly believing that things will work out is what leads people to speed, use drugs, and engage in generally risky behavior . that I think is the true insanity. Should I just lie to her and tell her I believe? I'm kind of frustrated.
Answers:
why do you have to "graduate" are you earning a diploma? Getting a degree in being therapied? say Thanks for seeing me through my rough time- catch ya when I need ya! Bye!
No long goodbye no graduating necessary! Just stop seeing her. I have been to therapists and psychologists and psychiatrists.. I haven't graduated from any of them. but when the need is over so is the paycheck! I stopped when I didn't need them anymore. if you are done be DONE take control!
Other Answers:
Unless you are in some kind of supervised program, which it doesn't sound like you are, you don't have to "graduate" from therapy. You can just choose not to go. It won't do any good to lie to her. Just cancel your future appointments and move on with your new job and life! :-)
Just don't go back anymore. No one is making you go to therapy are they? You sound like you have it all together. Good luck with the promotion,
Take care.

you have to be on good terms with your therapist,otherwise the whole process might be futile in the end.
try to work things out with him ,otherwise you have to quit treatment.

do i understan i well ? are u finally getting the idea that scientology/dianetics sucks? u were so curious about it in the past. it is great that you attained some critical thinking. there were many who didnt so u have my great respect. pls do urself the favour and quit the terapy, it is only meant so that it helps you somehow just in order to lure u to buy more and more courses and make it more and more difficult to quit from it, my friend is already spending about third of the family income on this auditing that is getting longer and longer. dont be frustrated dont blame yourself, don let them tell you that you are incapable and unable to continue. that is why you call it graduate from therapy - if u decide you dont want it, it is twisted into somethik like you flunked the therapy as if it was a school course and u a bad student. this is just their manipulative ways, telling you all the time that if u stay with them, you are so good so improving, and if u leave, so bad, so worthless and weak - when u tell your therapist you are quitting u will hear quite a bit of it !! like sugar and cane
i understand that dianetics sounded good to u, but indeed it is just meant to be attractant, something that helps u and therefore you wouldnt question other things that come from the same source.
pls visit xxx.xenu.net to find out what concepts will be given u to bellieve in if u continued the therapy - read about the thetans, what they are, the extraterrestrial stuff, the fact is that Hbbard simply thought it up purposely. some terapists themselves are abused that if they do nt have enough patients too bad for their spiritual development. just subject to brainwash
