My T said to me:
1. I want you to feel like you can be yourself in here. I want this to be a place for you to be yourself.
2. I care for unconditionally. If I weren't able to do that, I wouldn’t be doing this kind of work
3. I never want you to feel like you have to please me.
Recently, I've been feeling like the next time I see him, he is going to say he just has to refer me to someone else, because I am just not improving. I just don't think I could handle that kind of rejection atm!
So, last session I just told him that!
I was so glad I was honest with him!!
He said NO WAY! I'm in this for the long haul!
Be as honest as you can with your T!! I've found that works the best.
And don't be afraid to ask your T, to slow down on the heavy stuff. If you just want to vent about your week--go for it!!!! You are there for YOU and you know best what pace to go at!
Good luck at your next appointment!! Let us know how it went, OK?
