She keeps changing the boundaries, and you keep taking the blame. And then, when she knows you're already feeling hopeless, she tells you not to hope for anything better because this is as good as it will ever be.
I think it's healthy to realistically recognize and accept our limitations, because we all have them. But a competent therapist would never try to destroy your hope at a time when you need it most. That's not therapeutic. That's just cruel.

Conversation with my therapist:
Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."
It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
