Shhh. I thought maybe I was not being "supportive" and anyway, I thought better of getting into something that was not my business and spooking you. (Is my reputation for skepticism so well known?)

Therapy is not going well for me; I need to decide whether it is or is not worth the fears it induces for me to have more "learning experiences" to understand what makes me tick. Can I make use of a less-than-ideal therapy/therapist or not? Is it worth it?

ARE there any ideal therapists -- or ones more closely approaching the ideal? I have some definite ideas as to what I need and what is not right with my present therapist, but what to do about it is the question. And as for telling my T how to improve, that does not work. Especially considering the kind of dissociation I often experience -- I cannot be coherent in session, and when that happens what he does makes the situation worse.
