Is it just me, or do others feel that the hurt and disappointments in the therapy relationship outweigh the good feelings of connection? In my therapy, as good as i feel sometimes with her, it seems that 3/4 of time is spent trying to resolve misunderstandings and hurt feelings. Before therapy, my way of handling problems in relationships was just to walk away and not confront it. In therapy, i've tried to stay open and keep talking about the ruptures. But I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it. My t is a good t. But the therapy relationship hurts more than it feels good. I thought it was supposed to be about having an "emotionally corrective experience," where the client learned that t would not hurt them the way other people in their lives did. But experiences with my t just keep re-enacting my feelings of rejection and abandonment.
Thanks for this!
