I think CT has it's place and can be useful but I think it can be used as an excuse for bad therapy. I find the contradiction maddening - on one hand a close relationship and partnership is encouraged but it's completely one sided. On the other, all problems are directed back at the patient as transference/CT, so where is the partnership in that?

People can have off days of course and my reaction was strong, however, the therapy itself has encouraged and fed my dependency and vulnerability, with the promise of a mostly good, containing, safe place to let go and heal. What I have is no where near this and I don't think it's just me and my lack of trust. I so badly want to trust him.
