Honestly, it can be challenging. I'm trying to read them with an open mind. And I also haven't been posting in this thread in the long stretch where things had gone really well with him, so it's just showing the negative.

And it's easy from the outside to be like, "yes, you need to change T's!" I try so hard not to advise people of that because I know it can be really difficult to hear and often not helpful. Would someone tell me, for example, "You need to change husbands!" Well, maybe. But it just seems like with T's, it's easy to say "Just find a new one!" when it isn't quite that simple, for multiple reasons.

And, OK, in my write-up of Monday's session, I left out the part where I mentioned to him some of the comments on here, then started crying and saying, "But I don't want to see a different therapist--I want to work on this with you." And then asking if he had the tools to help me. (He started talking about a couple techniques, but it was a conversation to be continued later.)
