The one I see rarely does anything useful except sit there and not talk while I tell her things. Sometimes she seems unable to stop herself and she talks. She tried the What if you saw someone do X (the thing done to me) to a different child (or when she is really frustrated with me not blindly submitting - she throws in my dog). And the true answer for me usually is the same as if it was me - I genuinely do not find X (or Y or Z or blackacre) to be a blanketly terrible thing. It might could be terrible, but it really might just be okay not a big deal.
She has others that have failed too.
I think the thing I find frustrating is how stupid I think she must find me to think I would fall for such crap. And I wonder about her in that she keeps seeming to forget how I will react to such pathetic attempts to manipulate me.

What things have the therapists others see done that failed?
