I wonder how many terminations and stuckedness situations are actually due to power struggles between the two parties. The client digs in for one reason and the therapist digs in for another. I dug in because I wanted a simple question answered and she dug in because she did not consider it important. One example is I wanted to talk about how I threw up every week before an appointment, she labelled it resistance without further discussion. I brought it up several times and she would change the subject after expressing surprise that I still had that over the top reaction. We had several issues like this. Each side became entrenched and saw no willingness to compromise movement on her part and so would not move on mine. But is still sort of makes me sad.
