It took me about 4 visits weekly with my T to realize I can trust him..

The T I tried for a month before him,, well to be honest she was USELESS!!! ,she just wanted to remind me each visit that " thinks will get better" and she didnt offer any ways for me to actually deal with it all. she really wasnt too concerned ...she seldom asked me questions.. she just sat there.. I was ready to quit therapy all together .

I am very open about my issues and problems ,,,how else can he help me if I dont talk about things ?

The rough stuff of course is harder to talk about ...but for me there is no point going for therapy and not working to find out what are problems and how can i learn to cope better.

I guess im just hell bent on figuring out my problems and thankfully I have found a fantastic T that is helping me solve problems and not just a handholder..

I think if you have seen your T for 4-5 vists and you cant " connect" maybe its time for a new T..

Just my thoughts
