BlueMoon -- I was in therapy with him for 7 years...I think it was around the 5th year in therapy that he said this to me...He talked a lot about himself so I knew kind of a lot about him... And he knew a lot about me... Guess he felt comfortable with me.. Because when his wife had surgery, he called me to tell me he had a roast in the oven and his wife was resting....Which means he was really comfortable with me...

I can understand wanting to talk about his experience in the hospital.. Yet, what he said bothered me.......All I could do was listen.....And yes, being a Christian counselor, this even surprised me more..."I am far from perfect" yet the church was my safety....To get right to the point, I really did not want to know anything about my Ts private areas.....

I told him straight up that he wasn't helping me and he would always say "it takes time"...and also said that he was trying to understand me....So I stayed. I kept getting worse and worse and by the 7th year, I fled for my life.. There was absolutely no growth in the 7 years of therapy.... And I worked hard... And kept sinking and sinking...I just think he opened too many "boxes of worms" and when they were opened he did not know what to do, which pretty much left me hanging on for dear life....

Took me several years being away from therapy to gather myself back together...Still might not be there just yet, but atleast I am functioning on a somewhat normal level...I harbor no ill feelings about the old T...Just glad it is over......

Just to add, he is a pretty nice guy I guess.. He is likeable and pleasant... Just he did more harm than good...shrugs shoulders.....
