I'm so sorry this saga is still going on and I understand your sadness and anger. If faced with a similar situation, I probably would handle it much worse than you are. You're a strong woman!  |
Nice! I'll just call you Axl from now on
I like to think I'm a tough chick, but oh, if you saw the e-mail I sent him last week you might not think I'm handling it so well! I'd copy it here, but it would probably be hard to read through all the asterisks.

I just went through a similar incident with my therapist and we ended up giving up, terminating. Oddly, just like yours, my T turned from being a normal person to a clinical Freudian like therapist. Maybe aliens are swooping down and replacing our therapists? I swear, I just can't/couldn't figure it out and that mad hair-brained explanation sounds like the best one I could come up with, lol.
I hope that your outcome is the one that best suits you, whether it is to stay or go. I wish you the best of luck! Keep us posted.

Yeah, I read a little bit about your situation too
. My T and I have definitely had moments like that, where suddenly a boundary pops out of nowhere, and he reacts differently than he normally would for reasons that I have no way of knowing about, until he discloses them. He's always been kind of Freud-y, and that's pretty much been the source of our other problems, too. But yeah, it's like he gets possessed by the spirit of Sigmund Freud from time to time and suddenly starts being inexplicably closed off and weird and defensive! Freudian pod-people... you may be on to something...
Thanks for your response
I did send him a long e-mail last night (timed so he would hopefully get it after dealing with all his family stuff for the evening, but with enough time for him to set it aside before Monday morning), and told him that although I still think we need another week before we meet in person again, that it was ok if he didn't respond. Now I'm thinking that might have been a mistake, as I'm getting really anxious about his not responding. So if he doesn't write back by tomorrow morning I think I'll just ask him to confirm that he received it. For some reason that seems like it would help, even if I don't know what he's thinking about it.

I know the feeling, being there with my own t. Sometimes he is superT and a tremendous help and support. But he only gets that way when I have taken a break or am about to step off. Best wishes to you my friend. I hope things work out for the best.

Yeah, that definitely a big part of what drives me CRAZY about it. Waiting until I say, "OK, I'm leaving," to really step it up. Thanks for the well wishes
