Thanks. Yes, it could be that way, that she waits a bit before she enters too much into questions about what I tell her.


My counselor doesn´t even listen though, as you say your therapist did in the beginning. She hears what I say of course but she keeps bringing the subject of me as a person. She always enters into some general statement about it being hard to share things or whatever I tried to tell her.

As you say perhaps she just doesn´t know how to be empathic or to engage on a more personal level as she isn´t a therapist. But if I imagine myself sitting with a patient and being told sad or difficult things I would really try to follow up with adequate questions.


Even if it´s sometimes suitable to put things into perspective, counselling isn´t about a debate or discussion about "everybody else". I´m very disappointed in how she handles what I tell her.
