I have seen my new therapist 3 times. She is a Psychologist and is my age (68). During the sessions, she will sit there quietly and not interact with me at all, she just lets me talk, types what I say into her computer.


The only thing she said to me yesterday was to start working in a workbook that I have and then she asked me to think about why I want to be depressed?

Now, this is a therapist who advertises working for the Dept of the Army with PTSD issues with troops coming out of battle and trauma victims and yet she just sits behind her desk way away from me and does not interact.I brought to her a recent traumatic event that left me significantly triggered and she said nothing when I told her what happened. I was stunned with her reaction, which was nothing. When I looked up her ratings on the computer, there were others there that commented on the same thing.


On Monday when I see her again, I am going to let her know this is not working for me, her style. I am looking for someone that is more interactive, more empathetic and will give me feedback. When I asked for feedback she shook her head and said she has no comment, which is causing me to now look at her therapy style.
