Yes, my first T was kind of like that. Fairly early on, we were talking about number of sessions that would be covered by insurance (I think it was 15), and she said, don't worry, you won't need that many. But I did use more than that, so she did have to revise her estimate. At some point I quit because she was no longer helping me. I think I could have gone to her for 100 sessions and never made the kind of progress I was capable of. She was CBT, and later I took her inaccurate estimate to mean that she really didn't know me well, or the extent of the problems I was dealing with; that I present well, as BlueMoon said; and also that she overestimated her skills as a therapist. Dazed, I think it is good your T is recognizing quite early on that you will probably need more than 10 sessions. Do you think you could talk with him about his comment and how it made you feel?
