I saw my therapist today and it was ok, i talked about some stuff that i'm really afraid to talk about and it brought up a lot of bad feelings. I don't think she knows though. I feel completely like blahhhhhhhhhhhhh and don't know what to do. I'm so used to not wishing to be dependent on a therapist because i've been dropped so much. I feel worried that i will be abandoned again, yet she keeps telling me that she won't drop me. After going through months of being dropped, she's the only one who's kept me longer that 8 months, other than my former counselor who kept me from 2007-2011, that's almost 4 years that i was with her. Trying to be open to this one is sooooooo hard. She told me that i could just leave her and play "therapist hopscotch" or stick with her. I feel like i'm semiwhat drawn to her, but on the other note, feel no connection. This is really my first therapy relationship that i've begun where i was not in a group like DBT. I feel like i have an electric fence that is making me not cross "the line" of conversation. Like i'm afraid to delve deeper into the "depths of my mind" type of thing, but i'm not sure. Any input would be lovely!

This is one of those things where only time can be a true witness. I can't say your T will never drop you but you have to take her word and continue to trudge onwards.

I can only suggest you try to trust her and see what happens.

A T should never promise this because eventually things will have to end and it will result in either client or therapist being dropped. They always say it but it happens, I am not saying your s will because she seems ok actually and like she is really wanting to help you.

If your T is reassuring you that she won't drop you, then she won't UNTIL you are better or if she HAS to for events beyond her control. I choose to trust my T when she says she can't foresee the future but won't abandon me, now. Take care.

If you are feeling drawn to her despite your instinct to not connect with her, then maybe that is your gut instinct kicking in and telling you that she is going to be a good one. Therapy is the scariest, bravest, agonising, most rewarding gift you can give yourself. Give her time to prove herself, she sounds like she's going to be good for you. x
