Thank you for all of your replies
Blur, I love client centered therapy but there is no ts in my area that practise just that. I really need a t who is gentle and kind more than to be pushed because I just close up. Something in me just closes up with her.
She kept saying how she was sad that I had been treated badly in my past and wanted to acknowledge it, she uses a lot of her own feelings and intuitions which is different. I think we haven't established a relationship or trust yet to be doing all of this deep work. It was only second session and to do the empty chair technique is way too early. She. Wanted me to get angry at my mum, yes I need to do that but I had been with old t for nearly two years and still hadn't done that. Yes I need to be challenged but not so early. I think I can't do this with her.
