And here am i... Sorry for not being as curable as other clients. Sorry for bothering you. Do you hate me? You said no. But it's difficult to believe. I compare myself to other clients...
Ugh.
I also hate saying cliche like "I feel lonely", "No one loves me", "It will never end", "I bother you" and so on. I'm sure you heard it million times before, I'm sure in your mind you roll your eyes, I'm sure you think "I tired of this stupid girl".
Sorry...

I can see why a T may want to put references from other clients on the website, but this shows why it can be a bad idea to know anything about T's other clients.
The other client may have taken only 1 session or 2 months to feel better, but they are no doubt a completely different person in a completely different situation. Who knows, if that person were in your exact situation, perhaps they would be getting on much less well than you are!
Also, just because you need more than 2 months to feel better, doesn't mean your T sees that as a negative. Maybe T would be bored and unfulfilled if they worked only with clients with straightforward issues and who can be helped in only a few sessions. My T actually enjoys working with people who have more complex issues. Which is just as well, because it turns out I am one of them
I hope you don't mind I replied on this thread!
