I keep trying to validate why she was like that that, the T. Maybe she wasn't used to having clients who are new to therapy. I had no idea, and still don't, what a T wants from me. How I can help the process? Do I volunteer information or wait till they ask? How can I ask questions of the T when I know nothing about the process, rules of engagement, and lack of guidance? Maybe she thought my lack of verbal response was that I had nothing to say, which is far from true. I just know it did hurt to finally open up to someone then get shut down like that. I wrote her a letter saying that I was ending the sessions, it was a nice letter, and I've heard nothing back from her. From what others have said it would have been nice to have some kind of response back from her if nothing else to help find another T. That to me show the lack of care, which I have pretty much felt about it anyway. They care as much as you pay them to care. Once the money stops coming in, that's it, the care gets turned off like a spigot. Plus I had that terrifying experience with a counselor as a kid, well it was terrifying to me, so being with a counselor is an anxious experience too. But my T knew all this. Oh well.....*sigh*
