I don't think my t wants to drop me cuz of my personality per say ie i stink. But i think she thinks even though i have issues i'll be ok with out therapy in some way. I wish i could reveal all of me to t i really wish. I wish i didn't lie today about being ok, but yet verbaly i told her i wasn't ok and cried in session.
I have thought about dropping therapy but yet still keep going i think a part of me feels it helps in some way or gives me some shallow hope of help.
T said i only had till march and we haven't touched on things that i really wanted to on why i began. Just work issues it seems like. Uhg. Idk but i some times thinks she wants to drop me. Idk why exactly. Maybe she doesn't like me and sees me as a crying person. Uhg. Idk. Just was wondering about others. *
And if so have you ever told your t how you feel.
My boyfriend said tell her you think this and i told him no cuz she maybe more pushed to get rid of me.
Some thing in the back of my head buried deep asks if this is an attachment issue. :-| idk that either! Blah.  but would be interested if i'm one of a few or a hand ful and if any suggestions on dealing with it. Thanks-

It is normal to feel discouraged sometimes. It is fairly common to project this frustration on the therapist. In other words, maybe you are feeling it's not going well, but you can't admit to yourself that you want to quit. Perhaps it would be easier for you to be dropped? That would be a really useful thing to talk about.
I had a setback with my T two years ago. I thought she was dumping
me, and she thought I was dumping
her. And something wasn't right, or one of us would have fought harder to save the relationship.
But a couple of months after I quit, she invited me to try again. And I did. We've been in almost continuous honeymoon ever since.
Your boyfriend is right.
