We have stated goals in the beginning of therapy, I brought a whole page with me with my goals and she put them in my journal and we discussed them all. But that of course doesnīt mean she thinks she can help me with all of them, no T does before having spent several sessions with a client.
I know a lot about both CBT and psychodynamic therapy and Iīve also tried some sessions of CBT but that direct approach didnīt fit me. I need more of a unstructured talk as within psychodynamic therapy and I donīt feel itīs the kind of therapy thatīs wrong. Iīve also been in a psychodynamic therapy before and I really liked it and felt stronger when seeing that T.
Yes, this current T only practises psychodynamic therapy, she doesnīt work integrative. Perhaps itīs me having believed too much in therapy and that Iīll just have to accept living a pointless life.

I wonder does your t only practise this type of therapy because if she doesn't do anything else this could be a problem.
I had a tutor in college who was a psychodynamic therapist and she always tried to blame my parents for everything and to find problems where there wasn't any. Everything had another meaning with her.
It sounds funny now but I remember her and one of my fellow trainees arguing about whether she had a secure attachment and in the end the girl just said fine, I have a bloody insecure attachment, are you happy now?
