how do they do it???

been struggling lately and so i have seen t more often than usual and it has actually been very helpful
Usually i would just jump from one session to the next and not really get alot out of it, but knowing i needed to keep coming back regularly so as not to spiral down so much..(MDD)
but the last couple of sessions he has been right on with insights and thoughts and understanding where i am coming from BUT as good as it feels, it also feels really really scary like he is seeing more of me.....
i just don't get how they do it all.... how do they do it??? how can they totally connect with us one session and then totally be off the mark in the next one.... just very confused right now... any feedback would be appreciated...

jbmomg, you know how you have good days and bad days? T's have them too. T's aren't the same all the time, just like we're not the same all the time. They're just people, plain and simple. Sometimes they are "with it" and sometimes they're not. It sounds like your T has woken up and now he's more "there with you." There's an ebb and a flow to that, but to some degree, now that he's connecting with you, he's going to keep those insights. I'm glad to hear your T seems "with it" lately -- that's great!

T's are only human. They aren't going to always be spot on.

i know in my head that is true, but in my feelings and thoughts i really don't like that answer... I don't want him to be human, I want him to be all knowing....and safe again

Talking to T is a joint thing; sometimes we reveal more of ourselves and sometimes less. Sometimes like Jexa says, T's have more insightful days, sometimes less. It's an ebb and flow and in there too is our greater or lesser understanding of the larger picture. We might think they're missing the mark, only to realize a few sessions later they were right on or, we might feel they were right on, only to find it doesn't feel as important a few sessions later.

i dont talk a lot but sometimes she seems to just know what is going on in my head and that kind of freaks me out because i wonder how could she know this stuff about me.sometimes i swear that i must go to sessions and talk up a storm and just dont remember

I feel like you do, it freaks me out that he knows what is going on in my head, and i know i haven't told him anything... are we that transparent???

i liked the way you put that, sounded funny when i first read your post

some days though, it feels very safe and not so all alone
