I don't think I'm totally against giving up control. For example, if my therapist told me he wanted me to do something because he asked me to, I'd probably be able to do that with him.
I'm not sure I'm capable of just allowing something to happen without having a running internal commentary on it. Especially not with a virtual stranger. That's why my therapist now thinks I should give a try at going in as emotional me. But he also thinks it's probably a good idea not to go back to her. To try someone else and hope for a better connection.
I'm not particularly inclined to do that right now. Besides, if the whole thing relies on my believing it works, whether or not it does, it's pretty much doomed for me to begin with. I'm *not* terribly suggestible in that way.
