Don't use indirect gestures. They usually get misinterpreted, anyway. It is best to be open and direct with people. They really appreciate this.

Eg. If you are deliberately late for an appointment, she will assume traffic, family or work as the cause, rather than you being upset at her.

If you can't establish boundaries get a new psych.
i want her to ask why the hell im upset even though she should know already.
actually my first therapist used to assume right away that if i get there late or miss an appoint i wasnt pleased with her. supposedly is the first thing a psych should think? even though sometimes she would exaggerate in that analysis. i just wish she would show i matter like she did in beginning.

This is not healthy communication. You need psychotherapy so this means that things aren't working for you the way they are. But you think that the way that you do things are fine and when anyone suggests that there might be a better way to look at things, think about things, respond to things you defend your position like crazy. Do you want to get better? You are making me tired. If I were your therapist I would be exhausted.

Don't run away. Facing things is the best way to get better. The part that makes me tired is that you are always fighting things.

I don't know what I can tell you that hasn't been said.
TALK TO YOUR THERAPIST instead of assuming and reading too much into every little thing. She's not a mind reader, you know.

(And maybe learn to be a bit more mature about things and not dismiss people so quickly. As someone once said, "I know this is the Internet, but it doesn't hurt to be nice". Also, more punctuation might make your posts more understandable. English isn't my first language either but at least I make an effort.)

Every therapist is different. You have to tell this one why you are upset.

How did your former therapist know you were not pleased? You must have discussed it.

Please consider talking with your psych. She wants to help. Don’t give up on her because of the communication struggles you have described here. It can be sorted out.

If you have trouble expressing yourself with words, try writing a letter. Tell her what you expect in the relationship. It is okay to make such requests. Try to discuss the issue openly without resorting to passive-aggressive behaviour. This type of response makes the situation worse and almost always pushes people away.

I hope you can resolve this.

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