I started seeing a psychologist 4 months ago. At first he seemed okay but now I'm feeling uneasy-odd feeling. I brought up a male friend in our discussion. This guy lives long distance and I spoke about a small struggle I had in the relationship ( not romantic- acquaintance, friendship ). I shared my feelings, and asked how should I deal with it.
At first he seemed okay discussing it but after the first session it turned weird. I said this guy appeared to be upset over a situation I endured. My therapist became a bit annoyed and said " Why would he be upset! Im the one who is upset!" A few sessions later friend was brought up again. He said " Yeah I figured we would talk about him again" He seemed annoyed.
If your wondering, my hour session was not entirely about this friend. Maybe 15 minutes. I discussed the friend issue at my first and third session.
I decided to contact this friend to discuss the issue (, busy career., travel. Issue-he wasn't answering me for awhile and I wasn't sure if he was ghosting me as a friend) The issue was discussed with a good outcome. I shared the great news with my therapist. He didn't appear happy. "So you got an answer" in a tone that wasn't happy. Disappointed or sullen?
He asked me what was your friends response?I told him. . Are you sure your happy with his response? I thought he would respond with a little more detail. If it was me I would respond to you with more detail. I felt like he was making me question the response or attempting to cast doubt in my mind. I was quite content with my friends response before the therapist asked me. Afterwards I thought about it and was still happy.
When I was leaving he said "Remember I will always answer your emails and text"
I could see him feeling upset if this guy friend was dangerous or abusive and he was warning me. However that was not the case with this male friend.
Uneasy feeling or creepy
Anyone else experience similar with a therapist?
