sometimes though nothing is even happening. things aren't getting better or worse but you're just talking and talking and there is no change at all. that has been my experience with all but one T i saw. the T that did help gave me great practical advice and i saw positive changes very early on. i think it can be a difference in approach by the T that makes all the difference. also, only one T ever said anything to me about therapy goals or reviewing our therapy. i may have been the one to bring it up after i heard about them. i can't remember. i've found that some Ts are just horribly passive.

lycanthrope, i'd try talking to your T about all this and if she isn't willing to make some radical changes in her approach then i wouldn't continue with her. i find it strange that she didn't tell you what her approach is. i wouldn't like that. i'm sorry your experience with therapy has been frustrating.
