I feel as though my relationship with my therapist is odd, but this is the first time I have been in therapy so I am not sure. She will not disclose anything about her life, ever. She even seems uncomfortable when she returns from vacation and I ask her where she went. Doesn't that seem odd, or is it me. She also is not very compassionate. I know she is not supposed to be a mother figure or something like that, but shouldn't I feel that she cares? I have even confronted her about these issues, but she always turns it around and makes it about me. I tell her that I think her "objectivity" gets in the way of things when she makes such an issue of it. All this makes me feel very angry. At any rate, I made an appt with a different therapist for next week to see what someone new would be like. I figure if I like the new guy, I will just leave her a message that I am not coming back. If I don't like him, I can always go back to her. I know this is not the ideal way of handling this, but I don't know what else to do. I would appreciate your thoughts.
