I have a really tough treatment resistant depression. My T has had to accept that he can't "help" me the way he would help other clients. I know it frustrates him to see me hurting. We've come to a place where I can vent and he is okay with it (in the sense of accepting the situation as it is). Last week I yelled and screamed and then stormed out. This week he was like, 'Yeah, I didn't take it personally. If what you need is to scream at someone for an hour, I think you've earned it."

So, that's a roundabout way of saying that I think you can find that place with a T. Whether it's this T or another.

(I will add he's never been advice driven, just reminds me to be skillful as he's DBT trained which is sometimes maddening and sometimes helpful LOL. And sometimes he gets yelled at about it and now it's a point of humor between us).
