But in this case of feeling like I'm being judged/not trusting my T entirely I wonder how much talking about these issues might help.
PS. I've been posting a lot on here since I joined only about 2 weeks ago! I've realised that it's very important that I can talk to other people about the things I've been going through in therapy and my life generally, so thank you for listening and making me feel less alone  |
I have talked about the therapeutical relationship with both my xT and my T. They both regularly include(d) the relationship in the therapy room. I talk with my T about how I intellectually disagree with how I feel, but when I cancelled my appt. and he couldn't fit me in, I felt angry. It was SO hard to tell him this, because it feels crazy, but he took it in stride and it helped me just to say it and have him help me with it. If your T hasn't brought this up, I would really recommend that you do. I'm glad you are here, keep posting. We are here for you.
