How else do you show you care?

Sometimes Ts will show you care by doing what you need instead of what you want or expect. I know with me sometimes I misinterpret my T's thoughts, feelings, and intentions.

I've been seeing her since May-ish? 5 months? She never encourages me or tells me I'm doing well or tells me I'm slipping backwards or really gives me anything at all. I sit in her office week after week and I tell her all of this stuff and I get absolutely nothing in return. I missed when my appointment "Would have been" today. I'm feeling really disillusioned disappointed and just done with therapy.

Have you told her you need encouragement? Have you asked her for what you need?

If I'm the one with problems why do I have to do all the work? I need some support. I need her to tell me to keep trying or to toughen up or just... show me SOMEWAY that she gives a damn. But she won't because she doesn't.

You have to do all the work because it is YOUR therapy. I know it sucks, but they can't do it for us.

I refuse to believe that this is how therapy is supposed to be. Because this is ****ed up and just not right. Seriously, who stands on a ship watching someone drown? No, you don't have to risk your own life by getting in the water, but you could at least yell some encouragement!!
