"Do I need therapy for therapy?" Ha ha! Interesting, I was thinking this just yesterday. I've already terminated with my T, and even if I were to go back, I don't think he'd ever trust me enough to put our interpersonal stuff aside. It was so much like a -- relationship. Part of why it felt uncomfortable.
But yesterday I had this thought that my T and I, as a last-resort attempt to save our therapy, could have gone to a second therapist together! Like in couples therapy! But how weird. Then it really would feel like a relationship. Which is already a little eeeeewwwww.
I don't think anything like that exists, does it?

So that's where the difficulty was for me, sorting that out.
Do I need therapy for therapy? Well luckily there's always someone ready with a good point on the pc boards. But maybe it will be helpful to bring it up in the next round, who knows. I agree that more flexible and less "quirky" is better in a therapist.  |
