So, the next session I talked about it and he appologized and told me that he was burning the candle at both ends and made the mistake. I had to clear that up because I can't be in therapy with someone who is not honest with me.

It is really important that you trust your T River. If you are afraid of your T maybe you should see if you can find a female T to work with. Men tend to want to FIX and can get impatient, whereas a woman T can be more patient. I have a Man and I wasn't sure it was going to work out with my delicate history. It ended up working out though he did express that he was a fixer type and was being patient with me.
In the end he recognized that being patient was more productive in my case and he has learned from that. Every patient is a little different, so therapists are always learning.

This is exactly what I am trying to do!!!! Because of my background I want to be able to work through things and be able to trust him. It has taken a very long time to tell him what I have and if I were to quit, I will just tilotally give up!! Ive told.him more than I thought id be able to. I'm working on trusting him and I agreed to meet in a few days. We have spoken on me going to a women and in someways I wish I never started seeing him but I have and for a few years now. This is way I'm hesitant to find someone else. I tried to build myself up to give it another shot. I will talk to him about how I don't always feel safe in his office, I'm sure he'll bring it up since ive told him.

I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. I'm just trying to keep my head above water at this point!
