Not really, I mostly afraid of having a similar outcome. Like once I see the other regularly I run into the same problems.
But anyway, I saw her and she brought up that she felt stuck as a therapist, and when I asked if I made progress she beat around the bush and it was basically a no. And I left the session thinking I felt okay, but through out the day felt worse and worse. The order of that part of the session is all mixed up. But she said she felt like I didn't trust her. When I asked her how, she basically gave the same answer she gave before, which I'd explained that I didn't feel like I had many walls up and answered the questions she asked. I remember getting to the point where really don't know what the theraputic relationship was supposed to look like.
Like I can say yes I trust my psychiatrist when she prescribes medications. But I think it's more that she's not doing anything that where she didn't have my trust. Also it's a lot easier to trust her, much like you trust other professionals in their feild unless they're being sketchy. It's a relationship dynamic I'm used to. With my therapist, it's difficult. I'm aware she's not my friend so I don't trust her like my friend and it isn't possible to trust her like my friend. It's not possible really compare it to other doctors I see, because it gets to a point where you can be off topic, innapropriate topics, TMI, even if the conversation is focused on you. But I guess maybe therapy just doesn't work for me.
