I don’t care what you think of me. I wish I had said this to a certain T and felt this about that T. If I’d gone into therapy using the therapy as a business arrangement, and nothing else, the outcome would likely have been more positive for me.
If this therapist at any point attempted to take on any sort of reparenting role, he was exactly the wrong person to attempt that job.
There was no unconditional positive regard. As, of course, in the family of origin.
Thanks a bunch, T
