It sounds like you needed to feel cared about and didn't get that.

You're right. I felt like I was just a person who filled her slot at times. there were a few sessions that I feel like she actually was more involved but especially the last 6 months or so prior to me ending sessions it was very upsetting. Sometimes I just thought that she has way too many clients for her lifestyle. She has the few that she treats very differently. For example she diagnosed me with an eating disorder and knew that I was running into major issues. She used to eat with me in the beginning to get me accustomed to eating and then stopped. She religiously did it with others. also knowing that I was having major issues in my life and depressed she cut down my days from twice to once a week . She does have this one particular client she adores. I believe this was that first client that she struggled with an eating disorder for years. My T would use her in class and our whole class was based on her life. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that my T was my professor prior to me starting therapy. This one client still works with her side by side doing presentations and so on. She has been seeing her now for Maybe 7-8 years. My T has dined at her house. I know all of this because she told the whole class about it. That's what made me choose her. I thought that she was so caring but what I learned is that it is a business and that she does play favorites. She has a bigger heart for teens. She's in her 30s. There's quite a bit involved. As for me continuing therapy I'm not sure about it. This was not such a great experience. It's hard for me to place that trust with someone else. I'm still trying to get over me ending therapy with her. It was disappointing how it ended.
