My T had therapy but she was still clueless. I guess it's sort like nursing at a hospital when you're on the floor and have so many patients it can get pretty gruesome. Once those nurses become managers or supervisors some of them forget what it's like to be a floor nurse and their expectations are unreasonable and there's a disconnect. I believe my T had several therapists and she became a therapist due to her negative experience. I really do think that she spreads herself thin. She has way to many clients and she schedules all within 2 days or so. She's also a mom who's super dedicated and engrossed with her home life. It's more than the norm. I'm not sure if all of that has caused her to be clueless. She has her favorites and there's one that I know particularly and she takes her to presentations. That's her success story and I guess she's really developed a relationship there and is hanging on to that hard. However I was lost and couldn't even get 1/4 of her attention even through sessions, emails, or texts. I felt like I was nuisance. It was enough for me to think if she created that scenario in order for me to leave. You would've thought that due to her experience that she would be so much more aware and empathetic but I think that she's so involved with other things and overwhelmed that she's clueless as to how I was affected because I can't speak for anyone else. That one client of hers probably thinks that she's the best therapist in the world and to her she most definitely might be but she's not going to be able to have that same relationship with every client. I see where she gets selective. I've been there to hear her say that in group therapy some patients just want her attention so much and "play sick". She said she doesn't play into that. You would think that she would view that different as a therapist.
