Sunrise- my plan is/was to keep going with her since she is very good and knowledgable in her field. I guess progress is slow because she's being careful- we are doing trauma work. I want to stay with her and get everything i can from her and i try to forget about that deep connection thing since it isn't imperative to the work being successful. But i'm beginning to see that i'm really missing that connection and i feel myself getting angry and discouraged.

Jungatheart and sugahorse1 - Her boundaries are tight, no emailing, and outside contact via text is fairly limited. It's a good thing in a way because the boundaries were a mess and the ultimate downfall of the last therapy i was in. But i think i just don't feel that she's all that invested in me. The problem isn't my therapist, the problem is me. I'm more at home with a nurturing therapist, one with a real connection to me, who sees me as more than a job, someone i can feel is really with me. My current client/therapy relationship is safe ( i think) professional, boundaried, she's good at her job, educated, funny, we agree on a lot of things i think, she's a great therapist, she's doing nothing wrong. She's just not "warm and motherly" i guess. Which is probably good since i have attachment issues.

I wish i could just suck it up and deal.
