my former counselor told me that the best data on psychotherapy shows that technique is less important than a meaningful bond with your counselor/therapist/psychologist/whatever.

There's also some data that shows that un-trained people can provide meaningful "therapy" as well.

I'm just mentioning this because I don't think a lot of Mental Health, Inc. is what its cracked up to be ((sounding bitter...I know...). I think people need people, and the way society and the economy are structured...a lot of us can only get genuine connection if we pay for it. Welcome to 21st century America, I suppose.

Anyway...I guess I'm saying...this T sounds like she throws in cliff hangers to keep you coming back and it also sounds as if she's got her own issues ($$$, dogma, etc.) going on, and that might not be all that helpful to you. Or maybe that's my "uppity mental patient" side coming out to play, lol.

I hope you can the support you need from...someone... :-)
