I'm feeling a little bewildered about my T lately. I feel like I'm seeing her as a human being with flaws and I'm not sure I like her anymore.

I used to feel like I needed her and now I feel 'above her'. It's like I figured her out and now I'm ready to move on.

There are some conflicting things that have happened in T before were she will say: you "insert statement here" - and then she'll say "that was something I think you mentioned before" and I will say "no not me" and she'll say "oh sorry I was thinking of something someone else said"....

Other times she'll say assumptions that aren't correct like: "You seem to be ok and are doing better with xyz" - and in my head I'm like no I'm not doing better in that area and or I don't feel confident.

When I first met T she told me she's into short term therapy - focused based therapy - not long term like for 20yrs for example (I agree with that ). - perhaps she is sick of me after 2 1/2 yrs?

There are things she says to me that makes me think she forgets some of the things I tell her (such as questions about the past). I'll tell her something sometimes (something I've told her before) and she acts like she's hearing it for the first time. Perhaps I'm being too hard on her? How much can one person retain with having so many clients etc...?

I'm feeling closed off from her and I'm not sure I want to feel connected to her anymore.

I'm not saying I'm perfect and I certainly have my flaws in therapy as far as not being open and communicative. I'm sure I'm not the easiest client.

Am I being overly critical of her? What do you think?

As always thank you for listening.

Peace.
