Thanks. Yes, I agree to thatīs what sheīs trying to do, to show me how other people and sometimes herself has struggled. Sometimes thatīs helpful to me but it isnīt enough to hear about others and then feel ok. Itīs absolutely not helpful when I realize she isnīt telling me things because she trusts me or want to share things but that sharing is just a therapy technique. Thatīs what Iīm feeling at the moment, that itīs partly fake (and has to be as it isnīt a mutual relationship) and that those techniques arenīt helpful.
I think this therapy has been partly good, sometimes terrible and for the future it needs to be better. Private therapy isnīt an option as itīs too expensive and here we donīt have health insurances covering therapy.
Have you told your T how you feel about her telling about herself?

I think that is what my T tries to do with me, but i just let her talk even if it doesn't help me per se, mainly because i suck at talking  (in a therapeutic setting)
I agree you have stuck with this T for almost a year. Overall, how do you feel about your therapy in the past 10 months? Good? Ok? Terrible? Could be better?
Why isn't private therapy an option for you? The expense? |
