I started off at 2. But the more i do therapy, the more I end up as 1. It's just another example of how therapy aims to do one thing: Keep people in therapy (and keep the cash coming)

I feel just the right amount of messed up, to need therapy. I tried to survive without for so long. Well really, I didn't even know it was an option, or something that could help. Each appointment helps me with my life, so I know I can be helped. I also don't think I'd be okay without it yet. I definitely still need the help. I do relate to feeling like I don't deserve it. Particularly when I'm spending the money on myself. I worry that this could be used to help other family members with bills, in a way that I'm not able to at the moment. I also make really slow progress and I'm such hard work. So sometimes I feel like my lovely T shouldn't have to put up with me. I'm grateful that she does though!

t thinks I am fine. t thinks I should be able to do this on my own & free up T's time to help someone who actually needs help from another person. Maybe t is right. |

What do therapists say when a client says they think the therapist should be helping someone else? Has anyone told their therapist this?

Mine is I'm fine, I don't need help, and if you knew how screwed up I was I'd be locked up for good.

The time that another girl showed up at my appt time (I had the 3:30, she was the 2:30 but had missed it) I told T that I felt like I should have given her my time slot (She was quite upset in the lobby.) He vigorously shook his head no while I was saying I thought that she probably needed the appt more than I did. The whole thing was rather awkward since we were talking about a very specific client of his that I had seen. She quit therapy in the waiting room when he came to get me. The really odd thing was that in the appointment confusion they hadn't paged him that I was there. So he was just randomly walking out into the lobby and WHAMMO! he got hit with two agitated clients.  I was upset because at first I was horribly embarrassed that I'd shown up at the wrong time. After that I felt bad that I couldn't bring myself to let her have the appointment.

I worry that I'm in therapy for the wrong reasons....
Doesn't seem to fit either of your choices.

I sort of feel like a mix. Well maybe more accurately: I think I'm number 2 and have no issues to be resolved in therapy, and T thinks I'm number 1. She does't word it like that of course, but she thinks I have a lot of things that need work. And I just don't get it

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