You also don't tend to idealize him in your write ups the way quite a few people do about their Ts, which (the idealizing) probably deters negative posts. And you don't burst out in an aggressive and unfair manner when people criticize, so probably they feel more comfortable posting it. It gives plenty of room for comments of all kinds and I am sure your stories make people think about their therapy as well. |
Aw, thanks, Xyn. I may keep posting about them some.
I guess I'm just particularly sensitive to certain kinds of feedback--less so about stuff involving my T as a person/therapist, more stuff about me, I think. Maybe I just need to ignore it more, if I don't find it helpful--use what T calls the LT filter (well, with "LT" replaced with my first name). I also know some people on here may get the sense they know everything that's going on with me and with my therapy history because I post so much, but I also wasn't even on here the first few years I was seeing ex-T or the first year of ex-MC. And it may *seem* like I'm emailing T excessively, but if I posted some of what I'd sent ex-T and ex-MC (I know I sometimes shared ex-MC correspondence but very rarely those with ex-T), it might seem like nothing. Even the tone I used corresponding with them is different than what I use with T--in talking about it Monday, I said I seemed almost submissive in my tone with them, but I'm not that way with T (well, maybe in the very beginning with him). Or if I had been writing up full, detailed sessions from, say, 4 years ago, they might have a very different image of what I'm like now compared to then. Or what my relationship with this T is like compared with ex-T.
OK, I'll stop rambling about this now!
