I have considered if this is an avoidant maneouver on my part or if I'm feeling abandoned/rejected due to T going on vacation. These issues may exist to a degree, but I broached some "hard stuff" earlier and he wasn't encouraging, but seemed rather uncomfortable. The longer this goes on, the more frustrated I get with the process. I do have confidence in his knowledge of theory and I have no doubt that he benefits some of his other clients, but he seems to be at a loss with me.
I honestly didn't shop around when I started attending therapy (found him in the yellow pages). I'm thinking now that it was careless of me to not have been more thourough in my search for a T.
