Good question Rive. The answer is: I'm not sure. She claims she can help me. Which is more than other T's have said to me. She also says I do things that most of her other clients haven't done/don't do. Some of these things are good. Some is bad. That kind of makes me wonder if I am stretching her...making her think outside of the box more. She said to me this week that when she took me on as a client (I was coming out of IOP, I self harm, I actively hallucinate, I have Schizoaffective disorder etc) she was worried that she wouldn't have sufficient energy for me. I don't know if that means I am difficult, or draining or what. But she felt like she could make a difference in my life. She is pretty open about being unconventional. Her boundaries are a bit looser than I would like. Like she tells me quite a bit about herself, for example. But she is willing to have outside contact with me, which most weeks I don't use but, like this week was helpful. So I am still trying to figure out if she can help me. Hug Kit
