<font color="purple">It has only been a few months, and not really a huge number of sessions, but I'm terminating with my current T and then am going on the list for a new one.
Now, I know you're all probably thinking "Oh well, it takes TIME" but the thing is, I've given her and myself all the patience that I've got.
The reasons why that I'm terminating are pretty simple: the fact that I feel completely invalidated by her in her responses. It's like I pour my little 17-year-old heart out to her and she just brushes everything off as simple little things like not getting enough sleep. It's because of this that it's pretty much impossible for me to form any sort of theraputic relationship.
The reasons that have kept me going to her were: 1. I didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything...as silly as that sounds, and 2. Self-doubt and self-degridation. That she really IS the right kind of T for me and I'm just looking for someone to agree with me and if I want that then I should just go to my friends instead of some proffessional.
Ah well, minus an episode or two like this afternoon, I'm in a pretty good spot righ now so I don't mind being on the waiting list
