I asked my T today for advice and she said she had none It was a lot longer of a conversation because she's telling me where I can improve on therapy and I'm taking it as I'm doing something wrong, so I flipped out and thought she was going to abandon me like ex-T.
I just feel so stuck and confused. My ex-T would have lead the conversation for me... I miss her. |
Maybe try writing everything you just mentioned above ie. abandonment, ex-T relationship etc down in a mind map form- start with each of the things you want to work on or think about as headings and branch out from there- identifying the different feelings and thoughts that come up for you and even maybe some goals that you want to work on or what you would like to achieve. You will be able to see from doing this what topic you have the most thoughts about and maybe that is where you can start from with your T. Maybe even bring the mind map with you to your session so you can show T. I know writing down and visualizing things helps me to make sense of stuff.
I Hope that helps
