I have thought about this a lot recently ...
I've undertaken considerable detective work ... Conducted detailed research ... Undertaken comparative analysis ... Endeavoured to investigate available information ... and reached a conclusion somewhere between when I begin talking to my therapist and when the session ends my time is STOLEN!!!!!!! Really I'm serious and concerned here; I've been taking note recently of what I can get accomplished in a certain time frame when talking or working with others. Lots seems to get done then and I walk away with a feeling something is acheived even when we've discussed delicate and sensitive matters. In therapy I get lost so often in tears or in silence or torn apart by extreme moods; my therapist (sT) gives me space with that and allows me time to feel things and then it's over, my time is gone ... never to be returned. I'm sure there is a thief at work Do others experience this? have you identified and caught the culprit? managed to formulate a sentencing plan or alternative schemes of reformation? I need help with this

 That is too much. And I'm sorry your time is getting stolen. I will try to keep my eyes open for thieves. I wonder what they look like? |

Yes but this a strange thief. He takes time with one hand, but gives so much more back afterwards.

It's an international band of thieves - I've been robbed by them as well. Sentencing is a problem, though, because I'm not very good at producing complete sentences in T.

I experience this too!! Although its not because of an outpouring of emotions, its just because I talk too much. I get really aggro at the end of each session (at myself) because I have wasted it by yapping away non stop. I am the thief!!!

I think that thief was with me from 1994 until 2008......finally was able to find a therapy group where the thief no longer existed & it was such a relief to be away from it........it was so long in the past that the statute of limitations took over & there was nothing I could do about the theft.....only go on now & be thankful that my time is no longer being stolen & the more work I put into this DBT group, the more I really do get out of it now that it's starting to make sense & they were the ones that helped make it make sense until the lightbulb finally came on in my own brain.
I seriously understand how you feel about that twerp.......it's a nasty thief that steels so much of our time & gives nothing back in return.

With my first therapist I experienced it as as a result of a therapeutic rupture that evolved into a prolonged period of painful, painful attempts on my part to repair it. I disintegrated over that period of time. I ended up falling into another therapist's office, and saw both of them while trying to figure it out. Neither one was aware of the other for several months. Ultimately, I told my current therapist. She urged me to tell the other one, and we had to work out an agreement. After we got it worked out and I stopped seeing the first therapist, it took me about 18 months to work through the pain caused by the first toxic therapy. I am finally okay. But I can very much relate to what you describe. First in the painful confusion of the first toxic therapy, and the again as I worked through the residual pain and worked toward a healthy therapeutic relationship. I felt like my first therapist stole so much. I felt like my current therapist helped me put myself back together.

 . I guess my sentencing abilities rather suck too, but they might be improving. I think I'm about to catch my thief and stop him, at least for a bit.
