I record my sessions so since it's summer break I got the opportunity to listen to some of my sessions more carefully.
Something that struck me is how clueless my therapist seems to be about my romantic life. I'm a lesbian and consequently I don't meet many lesbians /bi women in my every day life and it's just hard : most people are straight and apparently I look straight as well and don't give out any "gay vibe". I've tried online dating but so far it's been frustrating as either women don't respond (which, fair enough I guess) or it doesn't work out as I'm not attracted or we don't click. But my therapist just thinks it's matter of luck: I just think she wants me to wait for luck and the right person will appear. The reality is that there are very few women who are interested in other women and even less I'm attracted to (bear in mind I only like femme lesbians).
My T's point of view is incredibly frustrating as she doesn't seem to get how hard my situation is. I think she's just clueless but tries to relate to my situation and fails.
I don't have much hope regarding my romantic life but I apparently can't convey that to my T.
What would you guys do? Any advice? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
