Welcome to my world! Haha jk. (kinda). It would make me mad to just to have chit chat. That's happened ALOT is my sessions too & I'm like wait. WHAT are you getting paid for?! I can do this w/ friends. He finally admitted he gets sucked into chit chat easily & some of the most meaningful sessions I've had w/ him were when I showed up in tears/emerg. Visits.

How did he dismiss you?

I guess for me a connection to my T would be to feel that he really 'gets' me or at least understands where Im coming from. To feel he cares at least somewhat and that's he actively listening/involved.
