Iīve been in therapy with my new T for about 4 months. Itīs a psychodynamic therapy and we work both on the present and the past. This T is quite focused on talking about childhood and even if she knows I havenīt experienced any specific traumas it feels like she wants to dwell on the past.
I want this kind of therapy but it feels like she tries to find explanations that arenīt there and that makes me feel that she always expects more of me than I can give her. I donīt have a a lot of childhood "stories" to tell and by that it feels like we talk about similar things session after session.
I just assume things take time but as we are about to evaluate therapy in the upcoming sessions I just get the feeling, perhaps itīs wrong, that she feels I donīt open up enough. Iīve already earlier on told her I was hesitant about continuing but that was because other things and now isnīt the time to bring another opinion.
I mostly wonder how a T evaluates progress, what is progress in therapy for example?
Iīm a bit scared this therapy will end as well as this T is within public health care and I suspect she wants faster progress as time and resources are limited.
