I'm beginning to wonder if I'm supposed to answer this question, as I have accidentally logged myself out twice in the effort. If third time really IS the charm: If I were seeing someone for depression, I would know from the get-go that 4-5 visits were not going to be enough. If, in fact, you are more ------up than he/she thought, that is T's problem, not yours. T should do an assessment on day one, to learn just how depressed you are and should have some idea as to how much therapy you will need. I would not worry about it, but by the same token, I would not be afraid to ask just what T meant by the statement. In the meantime, if you would care to ventilate, I am here, for what that is worth. I know about depression from inside and out, but I still don't have a lot of answers. What I do have is time! billieJ

About my 3d or 4th visit, my T said something like "wow, I thought after another 4 or 5 visits you'd be done and on your way" My first thought was sorry, I'm more F'd up than you originally thought, but I didn't say anything.

Has anybody had this experience before and if so, how did you handle it?

For some background, my 9th visit is coming up and I'm seeing T for depression.

Thanks in advance for your responses.
