Hazelgirl: I don't understand how it could be "right" for a T not to respond? Is that what you are saying that psychoanalysts don't respond? What if you just looked up a T and had no idea about what kind of therapy they ascribe to? I mean, when someone is in trouble don't most people just pick out any T with a roll of the dice?

I agree with you Winterski, most people don't look to see what type of therapy a t practices because A: they don't understand the different theories and B: they just need help at this time in their lives.
I think a t not responding regardless of what therapy they offer is not supportive or helpful. It takes a lot of courage to admit these feelings to ones t. Starshank, I am sorry you didn't get the support or response you needed but don't be disheartened, I think you are very brave to share them with your t and I admire you for you courage and honesty. It's just a shame that he didn't or couldn't see that
