Okay, first things first.

New counsellor, and I've only seen her three weeks (so three times) so far.

She got under my skin in the first session, which suprised me. Told me all about the roles people play in relationships (the hero, villian or victim).

Second session. I had signed a release of information from my first counsellor, so she had the info. Got a bit more under my skin, and told me to stop hiding behind the mask that I wear. (Which I found hard to do obviously, but I find it strange that she's been so forward).

And then finally the third appointment this past Wednesday (yesterday). Is it normal to make fun of the client and be sarcastic back when I'm doing it to her? I'm not excusing my behaviour entirely, but I didn't want to be there, and had an exam in 3 hours!!

And now my questions...

I think she's based in CBT, from what I've read about it and now what I've experienced. Not sure though. Any particular way to tell without directly asking?

And is it (can it) be this difficult and can I dislike her this much after only seeing her 3 times? I know its probably what I most need (I have big bad cognitive distortions and whatnot) but is it normal to actually dislike her this much?

*sighs*

Okay, I might be making a mountain out of a molehill, but I'm finding it hard to cope with things right now so I NEED to go. I don't really want to change counsellors either. She is going on vacation soon so I'll get to meet someone else (and may stick with them), but I highly doubt it.
