I'm trying to say that me feeling that safe with him is huge. I've never had that feeling with anyone before. I'm not 100% sure that he wasn't being sincere, just past experiences have my mind going right to that place. I have to remember that he isn't T 1 or 2 but that he is still a T and they are taught to diffuse situations before they get out of control. Your help and support has been invaluable to me these past few days...I can't thank you enough!  |
You are the one that deserves the praise, YOU DID IT!!!!!!!! No matter how much support you have it all comes down to YOU and YOU applying yourself
I just don't want to think that feeling safe is a substitute for getting the care and respect you deserve. There needs to be healthy boundaries between T's and clients. He's doing a job you are paying him for, and that is what you should be getting. If you are getting too emotionally attached to this T you need to address that with him before you really get hurt by him, and him not meaning to. Just be careful , okay? I don't want to see you get hurt. Not all therapist are good people. They are just people.
