Hey all,

I've been seeing a psychologist since the start of this year. The first few sessions went ok. But the problem is, once we got past the whole "talking about your past" stage, it's gone all...off. It's not that she's bad - although, if she was, I wouldn't know because she's the first I've ever seen - but it feels like she doesn't listen to me, not really.

It's almost as if she's focusing on the wrong things, but then I wonder...do I even have the right to question it? I mean, she is the professional, right? My major issue right now is self confidence and fear over the most insane things. Like, say, I have a fear of using frying pans in case I burn the house down. Stuff like that will affect my life more than the fact that I have a "unhealthy respect for the law"...wouldn't it? Is that even possible? Having an unhealthy respect for the law, I mean.

And then there's CBT. I know the theories behind it and I know how to practice it. But it just doesn't work for me. Why, I have absolutely no idea, but it just doesn't. But she doesn't seem to understand that and every time I go, it's the same thing over and over and over again.

I'm not really entirely sure what to do. Do I try and find a new one that would be better suited to me? Or do I put up with it because she's the professional and I'm not?
