I am really attached to my therapist. I've been seeing her for about 6 months and on most things she has been great. I had a pretty traumatic childhood, she really listens when I talk about it and seems to genuinely care.

When I talk to her about issues currently going on in my life, she's really dismissive. I'm looking for a job. I've been looking for a job for three months. We have 2 months left in savings and then we are in trouble. Therapist's response is always "Finding a job is easy. You'll find one soon." And that's the end of the conversation. If I talk about my anxiety or depression about job hunting, that's always her answer. Once when I said that I was embarrassed about my inability to get a job and that I didn't want to talk to people about it she said "Big ******* deal."

It took me awhile to bring it up in therapy because I'm such a conflict avoider. At my appointment last Monday, I talked to her about how dismissive she is and she sincerely apologized. Even though I know she was sorry, it still left me uneasy. She said that I couldn't see the good in myself which seemed to blaming me. It's also not true. I know I am talented and will be an asset to whoever hires me, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I am going to find a job easily. She said that she was looking at the big picture--the fact that I'd been the president of a large corporation before and could easily do that again. I feel like she's not looking at the big picture. She thinks I'm great, therefore, I can get another job. She's not looking at the fact that it's a really tough job market, that hiring season for my job is over, and that there are few jobs in my area.

I see her again this Monday and I am thinking of making it my last session. The only reason I want to stay with her is because I'm so attached to her. The idea of finding another therapist is daunting. She really is great about my childhood stuff. Do I stay because of this?
