I experience my new T takes the therapeutic relationship for granted. She even said so when I stated one of my goals in therapy is to establish a good therapeutic relationship with her. (To reach my other goals, not to spend time with her outside therapy or such).

She seems to think that she does therapy in one single way and that she doesn´t have to put any certain effort in. As if it´s enough that I enter her office and sits there and that´s the relationship.

I´m very frustrated with this T and I don´t even know if it´s of any worth mentioning how I feel as she seems to think of therapy as something else than a relationship. And that although a lot of studies have shown that the therapeutic relationship is crucial for change and support.

I think she´s very ignorant and also unproffessional as she seems to think that her way of doing therapy is a way that works even if she notices I´m irritated with her.

She also seems to think her cold way of being has a purpose of its own and should be followed through at any cost.

Mostly wanted to vent a bit and to get some perspective.
