I’ve been in therapy for some time. A few different therapists over the years and no one seems to be able to crack the wall. Not yet anyway.

I’ve been with my current T for maybe 9 months and it’s going well for the most part. I try pretty hard to remind myself that she is a T and that she is a safe space etc. But we don’t seems to get too far. I understand it all takes time, and I am not one for putting a time limit on these things as talking does not come easy to me. I sense my therapist getting frustrated sometimes. I think she believes in a more short term arrangement. I think she gets frustrated when her efforts do not prove so rewarding.

I donno. I like going to see T because as I said, it is a safe space. It is the only safe space that I have to explore emotions and stuff - when I feel comfortable enough to expose little pieces. I understand more about myself every week and maybe I should communicate this with her.

Does anyone else’s therapist get frustrated when you don’t seem to be making much progress?
