But my point is that I am feeling like when there is a consistent pattern of distress that seems to be caused by a T's techniques, techniques that don't seem to be helping and rather seem to be harming, or when there is a pattern of distress that seems to be caused by inconsistency in a T's manner in dealing with someone, that, yes, this is on the T, not on cognitive distortion or emotional over-reactions! And that I have seen this pattern with granite and her T.....

And you have only been here on this site since December so the pattern you see is based on only a short amount of time. Granite has been working with this T much longer than that. Only granite can decide whether this T is a good fit but just from reading her posts, it is clear to me that she is in emotion mind and basing her decisions on distortions. Like darkrunner said, feelings are not facts and it wouldn't be wise to make decisions about anything without the facts. Granite's T told her a long time ago that she wasn't to email in place of talking but she has continued to send emails instead of talking. If granite isnt talking after all this time, maybe this T isn't the right fit but this is something to be worked through and discussed before ditching the therapy in a state of distress.
