I got very anxious just reading your post... It would make me very uncomfortable...

My T and I were talking about Gestalt therapy when he was singing praises about group therapy and he said he'd love to do group and I asked what about gestalt and he said that would be very hard on him and it would be very challenging for him to do empty chair work but it probably shows he should do it.

but just as an outsider.... I am very shut down emotionally about past abuse... I don't talk about it with any feelings... although I can say logically that it was sad and yes I would be sad for another child if it were happening to them now...blah blah blah.. but I don't feel it for me nor do I get outwardly angry at my abusers... and Im not sure that I will ever be able to do that without being pushed...

so whether you like your T and her methods... might not be what you base decisions on...maybe you should ask yourself... can this T take me to where I want to be? (of course this is so much easier to say to someone else than it is to do for myself )
