dear granite, you are not horrible. I don't think your T thinks that either, even if it feels that way and you are hurting.
You are special!

When you email, she obviously doesn't get them in a timely manner all the time and that makes her realize that these issues go unheard and she is concerned about that! Email is not the main way to communicate in therapy. You have words, you can write them, she is trying to get you to speak them. Why? Because she cares about you! The more you write, the more unlikely it is that you will have the need to speak. I think your T is doing the right thing. Writing is a subsititute for speaking, which is one of the main issues that you are working on with your T. When i read how she acted in session, i did not think it was harsh. I think it's really sad that so many people encourage you to get another T based on your interpretations of what happened, which could be complete misinterpretations. No one else was even there. You are making assumptions and running with them! Did she say you were horrible? Did she say she doesn't want to help? These are assumptions and probably not even close to being true at all.
From my interpretation of what granite posted, it feels like to me that this T is not being consistent and patient in dealing with granite......and not communicating herself clearly, either. These are things that are important, things that granite needs. On my part, I meant no condemnation of this T, who I think has tried and does care.....but it simply does not sound like a good fit, and maybe to granite, does not feel like a good fit.
Thanks for this!
