I don't think that I can say that I've ever gotten to a comfortable place and stayed there with either of the two therapists I've seen. I'll have some sessions when I feel connected (whatever the heck that means ), and sessions when I've left feeling as though I must be on crack to think that this stupid therapy thing is working. For me, therapy is a to and fro kind of thing for me--I move forward toward the connection and then move back in discomfort. It's kinda like a dance step that isn't always smooth or polished. Lucky for me, the therapists I've seen have been very patient.

I'm with a new therapist (we've been working together for about two or so months). I like her. She's calm, consistent and reflective. Am I comfortable with her? Not really. I find therapy pretty painful and unpleasant. But there are moments that are wonderful and enlightening. . . just wish there were more of those moments than the uncomfortable moments!
