The new C sounds promising. If your W has not mentioned any particular C, then you could tell her that you have a C in mind....if she still wants to go with you "for closure". You have already clued this C in on what your W wants in the session and the C will be prepared for that. Based on what the C said to you, is the only reason I would give in to meeting with him. You were lucky to find such a C b/c it is very difficult. It is a long shot, but under the circumstances....it might be worth it. She seems determined to D whether you see a C or not.

Not sure if W is trying to be nice so that she gets her way (bills, go to C for closure, etc.) or she is being genuinely nice?
Yes, of course that is why she is being nice. She has a game plan...just as you have a game plan. It just doesn't happen to be the same plan. Don't most people act nice in trying to get their way?.....But then when if you don't comply to their wishes...look out b/c nice is going to change!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
