I am new to this community and I appreciate your thoughts. I am starting with a new T this week. My last experience which I ended recently was so unhealthy. She had one approach to dealing with my ACA problems and low self esteem and it wasn't working for me. I tried to tell her that I was frustrated and felt I wasn't making progress and she just dismissed my cries for help. I felt like I failed. (Can you fail therapy?) I think she was so invested in her idea that she was blinded to my needs and frustrations. It is so good to read the positive relationships some of you have developed with your T and that dealing with frustrations and doubts can be openly talked about. I stil need to work on my closure with the old T. but I am looking forward to meeting my new T. and a little nervous. (Since I hate failure). I know there may be times my therapy may not go the way I want, but I am optimistic that my new T will by supportive. Thank you!
