Archi your words make so much sense. At my last appointment, in quite a round about way, I bought up with my T my views that other things are more important to me in therapy than the insight she gives, though the insight is also helpful. She made one quick comment and we moved on, I don't think she had any idea what I was trying to say. As is typical she didn't explore what I was really trying to say and I didn't say hang on there was something I was trying to say and you haven't understood it. It may sound like it is not great therapy, but I wonder if the process of me overcoming my fear and anxiety and bringing this up again and actually saying what I really think may be hugely therapeutic. More therapeutic than if she had been the perfect listener in the first place and drawn it out of me herself? I'm afraid to talk about my views as the insight seems so important to her.
