Any thoughts for me? |
My T maintains that the relationship between the T and the client is more important than any psychology methods used. This came up when he said he felt like I was using him like a self-serve gas station, i.e, I wasn't developing a relationship with him, but was treating him as an interchangeable T. He wasn't happy.
Based on this and the fact that my T is the best I've had in over 20 years - you and your T didn't "mesh", that's all. I'd use your break to try to find a T who fits your criteria.
