I remember after my first few months of therapy the focus of my therapy changed dramatically. I had originally sought therapy for one issue and boom another one pops up. I was afraid that the terms of our interaction had changed and that my T might not have the interest or expertise to deal with the new issue. I eventually stopped arguing with myself and wrote my T asking her directly if I was in the right place and if she was interested and could handle treating me and this new issue. The next session was so important to me. She took the items that I had written and went through them one by one and re-affirmed that she was both interested and able to handle my issues. Although I did believe her at that point, the fact that I got this type of clear and direct affirmation was really important to me in later sessions.
