Sorry to tell you this but this was never therapy.
As soon as this person became a LEC lackey, she ceased to be a therapist.
Her credential and skills learned in clinical program are now in service to the Landmark Borg.
A true therapist honors the dignity of the counselee and has the counselees ultimate interest at --not Landmark.
Two, you can bet that someone in Landmark reads this message board. They may be reading this very thread, right now, seeing who is going to win.

For you and your husband-- take that break and do it now.
I almost wrote, 'take that break from therapy and do it now'-- but you were not in therapy, even if she made you feel good. Her ultimate loyalty was not therapeutic.
You (or your insurance company) were paying by the hour for your own recruitment into LEC.Make a contract.
*You and your husband are
not to talk with the therapist separately.
*You are not to make any decision unless together.
A risk is that she could split one of you and get the vulnerable party to do Landmark.
She could con one of you, such as your husband, to do LEC without you, by making it seem that he needs to establish his autonomy in relation to you, and that following your wishes not to do Landmark means he's losing his adult autonomy because you're bossing him around.
In LEC he will lose his autonomy for real. It looks like freedom but its slavery sugared over by manic bliss and jargon and fake companionship.
And you dont know if this therapist is being coached in all this by someone who has been assigned to walk her through the process of using this non existent therapeutic alliance to route people into Landmark's insatiable maw.
They dont have malicious intent, they are
robots.
You do NOT owe the therapist an explanation for taking a break.
Just do it and block her number on your machine. If you get snail mail, put it aside.
If she shows up at the house, tell her to go away and shut the door.
The goal is to keep you two talking. As long as you're kept talking to a LEC Lackey, there's hope that, eventually, you'll be worn down and go to Introductory Night.
PS A lot of for profit and non therapy folks are invoking "cognitive behavioral therapy" as their fig leaf. Byron Katie people do it. So do Eckhart Tolle people.
