Wow. What a horrible experience with your T. Glad to hear you are a bit better. It does sound like there is some counter transference going on here. It sounds like she doesn't think she's been helping you progress fast enough and is really frustrated with herself and decided shed been too gentle and needed to go all commando on you. Talk about a shock for you!
Two things you mentioned here I would tell her:
- that you do feel like you are making progress even if it isn't as fast as she'd like
- that you don't understand what specifically she thinks she was doing that wasn't helpful for you
I one had a life coach who didn't think I was progressing fast enough but I knew it would be slow going and was happy with my progress. I wish I had told him that because he decided we should do counseling instead, which I didn't want to do then, and shortly after he realized he shouldn't be counseling any clients and terminated all his counseling clients. Yeesh.
Another thing is from what I read here on PC some Ts seem to not allow clients to talk about sui feelings or if they do it is very limited. They seem to not be terribly well trained to handle it for fear of encouraging/enabling the client to go thru with it.
It does sound like you have a good T relationship overall so I think you and T will work it thru. Take good care and good luck with the job interview.
