Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I say, stick with your own intuition. You will know what's best for you and your child. That might be Where a good job is or.it might be where you have family support. But do what's right for you and not others. You'll figure it out. Best of luck. Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone --- Original Message --- Sent: January 1, 2012 1/1/12 To: IntuitiveEating_Support Subject: a litte angry at my therapist  I am seeing a new therapist and yes, I know it takes time to build a relationship but in 3 sessions, I am still uncertain abiut him. This is probably one of the most challenging times as I am really trying to decide between two places: living in one country or another and with a 6 month old baby. I am a single mom. In one country my baby will have maternal family near.In the other, paternal family near. In one I would feel happier than the other and too bad it is not where my family is. So I am sure you can understand the struggle. I did decide to move near family while being on an unpaid leave in the United States as I thought I was covering my B*** in case things didnt work out abroad. Here where I am now, I went to interviews and I am applying to positions that are opening in Feb. I think I am being a responsible parent by looking for jobs, see how much they pay and then decide where I want to stay. Well..according to my therapist I am being a teeanger who depends on external factors (job) to decide. Really??? I am not saying he is wrong...I just want to say that I am uncertain any thoughts on this? any thoughts on what to consider before making up my mind?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 i will be a bit more blunt and say it sounds to me like your therapist is not a good fit. you want confirmation that he shouldn't be calling you a teenager -- sure, i will give it! if it doesn't feel right to you, it isn't! you are PAYING him to help you. you are the customer. if it doesn't feel right, it isn't. as for moving and not moving... i'm a single mom too!.. do what feels right to you. it sounds like you know what you want but maybe feel guilty about doing that? well, as a single mom you HAVE to be healthy, emotionally, so do what is best for you. sorry for the advice giving but it sounds like you already know this anyway!best,abby I say, stick with your own intuition. You will know what's best for you and your child. That might be Where a good job is or.it might be where you have family support. But do what's right for you and not others. You'll figure it out.
