googley,
I'm sorry your T didn't just answer your question clearly and directly. Whether she thought your question wasn't really about her or needed to be redirect in some way to address some underlying issue she should have given you an honest response. IMO Whether you were going to believe it or not is irrelevant. IDK from my non-professional, patient perspective hearing my T say, "Chaotic, you know I care! Now lets talk about what is really going on here." , would have been much easier to deal with than avoiding my question and moving right into, "So, why do you think no one cares about you?" IDK it just seem to me that most of us in therapy need to have the obvious stated over and over and over again...its part of the unlearning process. Any educator will tell you it is so much easier to teach someone a totally new concept than it is to try and correct something that was learned incorrectly.
