This is the message part of me seems to be having towards one of my T's. A very strong, very loud message of STAY AWAY. I'm not sure of the why of it; only that it keeps coming loudly and with it comes a bodily reaction of trying to shrink away. I've been scared before of him many times, but this is the strongest reaction and has me really unsure of what to do with it. I don't know whether to tell him or not either because I don't know at all how to explain it so it seems like it would just be a waste of time

hope you can tell him whether you can explain it or not. I do not believe it would be a waste of time, tigergirl. I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time.

I think this is key. Do you feel fear with others in this same way? How long have you seen him? What does he do or say that makes you scared? Have you ever told him? In what way are you scared? What are you afraid of?

I've told my T sometimes I'm scared of her but that supposes a certain amount of trust that I already have.

Tell him and then talk about it. Maybe once its out you won't want him to go away.
Thanks for this!

Maybe you could talk about it. Would it help to hear from him that other people have perceived him the same way, maybe other patients get the same vibe from him? Maybe if you have a sense that it's not just you all alone being afraid, it might help... it could validate your feelings? I don't think I'd be very comfortable opening up about it, either, but it would be hard to stay in therapy with that scary feeling.

you are scared for a reason and if you can find it in you to be able to talk to him about it maybe youcan figure out why and it may help you not be so scared
