Hi Amuseable,

Different Ts work in different ways, and some listen more quietly when clients are talking. The current T I am seeing works more like you describe, and I'm having a hard time with it, too! I sure relate to what you are saying. Not all Ts work in this fashion, though. I suggest talking with your T about it, and asking if it is possible for your T to talk back and forth with you when you are sharing things that you remember, and why you would like this. You could even print out what you have written here, and bring it to therapy.

Please take gentle care of yourself - and I hope the situation with your T can be improved so it can feel like a better working environment. Thinking of you.

Take care,
