If you could post a question to a therapy forum (anonymously) where you know that your T will be the one to respond, what would you ask?

Interesting question.....hmm.....
There are actually lots of questions I haven't worked up the nerve to ask my T yet, but they are very specific to my issues and not something I'd post on a forum, because it would give me away. So, a non-specific question that wouldn't give me away, but that I'd still like my T to answer..."If you had a client who is completely terrified of going to a particular place, or doing a particular thing, and they asked you to go with them for support, would you?" There have been times that I've so wished I could just bring my therapist with me when I had to go somewhere or do something that I found distressing.

So T would not know it was me? Kind of like the 'ask' section here on psychcentral?

who's the patient you care the most about...then the second you most care about...then the third next you most care about...and on down the line to the least you care for?

Well, it's not really a hypothetical question in my case.
 My T has a site and has a section where you can ask a question about therapy and one of the T's will answer....and there's a possibility that his wife would be the one to answer, as she is a T as well....and the question/answer would be for all to see, including T's other clients.... I'm just trying to think of some useful questions to ask to help get the forum moving. I'm drawing a blank at the moment....so I was hoping to get some feedback here so it could get thoughts flowing....

Do you mean it when you say this is a "real" relationship, or are you just saying that so I feel more comfortable talking to you?

How long do you expect to treat the average client? (If there is such a thing as the 'average client'
 )How typical is it for clients to disagree with you about something, refuse to work with a particular treatment method, or be 'resistant'? Do you usually get your way in the end? Last edited by Anonymous33425; Dec 11, 2011 at 04:14 AM. |

1. Do you know what you are doing or is it all guess work?
2. Have you subjected yourself to this sort of thing? 3. What caused you to choose to do this for a living? |

MUE, I think you are making it harder on yourself posing the question (title) so literally. You want to help your T's site. That's wonderful but I think you are too close to the situation to make it work and wording the question as you have here for us, makes us feel the same?
I would ask something about the urge to please/help T? How could that be used/viewed to best help myself. "I often feel the desire to please or help my therapist. How can I turn that around and use that feeling to help myself?"

Do you really, really mean it when you say those super positive things about me? (insightful, intelligent, kind, funny, etc.) Or is it a lie meant to soften me up and get something from me? That's what the primary abuser did, would you do that to me, too?

How can you see a client for 20 sessions and just pass them over?
Do you actually think about how the client will be feeling with this action?

"What angel sent you to me?"
But seriously: "Where's the anaesthetic?"

Do therapists make provisions for their clients if they die?
Do they have a list of their clients and phone numbers and a designated person who will contact them and inform of the death? Do they have a letter that provides referrals for the clients? Just wondering if therapists provide for this. There was a professor I knew once who had letters of recommendation for all the people in his group, should he die. This is something I would never ask my T (don't want to be morbid) so it would be the sort of thing I would ask on an anonymous forum.

How often are you attracted to your patients? How do you deal with it when you are?

Who is your most challenging type of client? Are you really able to handle if I tell you everything I have ever thought about you?! I'm not sure...I don't want to make it that awkward...

1. I've had good teachers and good training, but only you know how you feel. 2. Yes. 3. Because therapy saved my life and I want to share that with others.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
