Having slept on it, I'm thinking maybe i have been too negative. The truth is that I have been stuck in therapy with him for years, not getting better although he did help me improve my relationship with my son particularly during the teenage years, but the last few years I have been stuck in a rut.

He started out saying he felt some regret at not being able to help me because of all the walls he had put around himself, how all these years he hadn't really shared much about what was going on and how he hid his symptoms from the province (by that he means his psychiatrist) and his wife.

So I don't think there were bad intentions. I think he is hypomanic and wanting to get unstuck in his relationships including with me.

I have been seeing him for 10 years and am not inclined to give him up after 1 weird session. Maybe the weirdness will help me get unstuck too.
