Do you think there is any chance of my T adapting to how I wish my therapy was? It's not really the emotions that are the issue - it is the fact of her not probing me to understand the things I say and not giving me more space to talk, not sitting with how things look to me for a while before she gives her thoughts, it's the fact of her thoughts being so dominant in there I feel overpowered. I have tried to ask for this, I don't know how well I expressed it. Her response was to suggest that I don't want to do therapy that I just want to talk as friends. This pissed me off somewhat. Despite my denial she continued to suggest this, at my final appointment she repeated this, saying I had a problem with being a client and then said 'you are my patient'. It was only after woods I thought how peculiar this was and felt a bit angry. She also suggested that I don't have faith in psychotherapy because my mother doesn't. This pissed me off too as I have huge faith in therapy.

I suppose there really is no chance of her adapting. Even now I think shall I go to see her one more time to try? But having written this it has reminded me why I decided this is not therapeutic anymore. Quitting is so so hard. I don't really want to quit. I have an appointment with a new T on Wednesday. She sounded nice on the phone.
