Also, he said that he will be the one who decides what we discuss in sessions and I don't have any input. So what I want to talk about doesn't matter.
I think that countertransferance is playing a part in this but he won't acknowledge that idea.
I want to stay with him.
However, I decided that I'm going to take 2016 off from him and go back at the beginning of 2017 to see how things are then.
I think he just needs time and space from me.
It's all so confusing.  |
hi hope,
I would agree with everyone here on the forum that you should see another therapist . this therapist that you're seeing is taking advantage of you by placing strict rules on you . to me he sounds like a control freak and he needs to stop giving you strict rules on what goes on in your sessions with him . he doesn't give you that much freedom whatever is on your mind . you have to make that decision to terminate your services w your therapist . this doesn't sound right to me at all . I wouldn't even give him a second chance . don't put yourself in a situation that he will be the one making all of those decisions for you and your his victim for falling into a trap like this . get away from him hope . there are better and more qualified therapists out there who will let you decide when its time to terminate therapy .
