I have started therapy with a new T, we have seen each other for four times now. I´m already disappointed with her as I feel she "over-validates" me by almost all the time answering me by telling something about some other client having a similar problem or saying things like "there are many more than you think with that kind of problem".

I understand she wants me to feel less lonely in having the problems I have but that´s not what I see her for. I feel very disappointed about this and I hope it will change as we at the moment are more planning for a therapy than actually doing therapy.

But it still makes me uneasy as she´s the only T within that clinic and I´ve already waited for many months to see this T. I don´t have the money to search for a new T in a private practise so that´s out of the question.

Has anyone else experienced being "over-validated". What did you do/say?
