Here is another thing my T has done/ is doing that I do NOT like, but is probably important.

I've mentioned several times that what makes therapy so difficult for me is that I am not always sure of the rules of engagement. I want a clearly defined set of rules for this therapeutic relationship. A therapeutic relationship manual. I have commented several time about being confused and wanting these rules defined and SHE HAS NOT GIVEN ME THIS!!!!

In one of my earlier session I told my T that I needed to know that she would always be honest with me and when providing insight would alway act in the best interest of me and my children. Even if doing so made me upset or uncomfortable. She agreed to this.

By not giving me the manual I want is important. She is providing what I need, even though I do like it.
