I've come to acknowledge how important it is for a therapist to incorporate consistency in the therapeutic relationship. I think this has been one of the major issues that I've come across with my kids T. She has a full schedule and has two jobs. Before going on maternity leave she weaned my boys by cutting down sessions to every other week. She then left and they were seeing someone else until her return. Somehow there was a "confusion" of which we were unaware of according to maternity at they were going to stay with substitute T. We were all unaware of this. We fixed that issue but now it's been a month a they haven't returned to their normal schedule prior to her weaning. They're having issues especially my youngest but she doesn't have the time to see them because they are more like floating on her schedule. Somehow they got displaced once she weaned them for their benefit. I still don't see how it turned out to be for their benefit. They really like her and she's great. She really tries but I think she underestimated their need for therapy but I think she's realizing now that there's an issue. We had an issue involving my youngest father but she doesn't want me to get involved but she's not available so how can I not get involved. I have other issues I'm dealing with plus now this and my T is MIA in between sessions. My coping skills are horrible. How do you develop trust with an inconsistent T?

My one friend had a mandatory therapy session today and when time was up she wasn't ready to leave. She left feeling suicidal and not being able to function but had no idea what to do. Luckily she contacted me. Sometimes I question Ts and their priorities and intent. It's so difficult not to.
