I don't like thinking about the negatives, but sometimes she does this sniffly sound (allergies maybe?) and it drives me nuts.

stopdog · Feb 07, 2014 at 08:39 PM

The woman does not listen to me, does not pay attention, has mocked me and then blamed me for it, thinks she is funny when she is not, and has never had a useful on target thing to say.

They're too easy on me.

Main T can be arrogant about his intelligence-- he IS smart, but not always right. Sometimes he doesn't know the difference.

CBT T doesn't do therapy that feels very "deep"--effective in many ways, yes, but not "deep". He does not understand that the therapeutic relationship is the main healing ingredient for me. He sees himself as a "coach" or "consultant"-- I'm feeling more attached than that. After all, he isn't my tax guy.

She can be quite abrupt and snappy sometimes, and she was for the last two minutes of my last appointment. If she was going to be abrupt and snappy, I'd really prefer she chose not to do so in the final two minutes of a session.

I can't think of a single thing!

Feb 07, 2014 at 10:29 PM

I don't like it when he denies the blatant truth! Oh, and I will second what Growlycat said on being arrogant.

nottrustin · Feb 07, 2014 at 10:31 PM

I sometimes wish she would push me a little to get in tune with what I am really feeling rather than give vague answers.

SmallestFatGirl · Feb 07, 2014 at 11:37 PM

He uses my name far too much. Like, easily a dozen times or more a session. I guess that would be ok if I didn't loathe my first name.

I honestly have no idea why you continue to see this T based on all the things you say about her. If you feel that way, why not find another?

I see a second one.
I put why I keep seeing the first one in the what the therapist does well thread.

She dances around saying what she really thinks and ends up speaking in vague terms or in ways that I don't fully understand. She has extremely strict boundaries, so much so that we can't have an everyday conversation or she will suddenly act cold. She is also unwilling to help push me into facing my fears in session, even when I have asked for her to. However, I can see why she does all of these things, even if I don't like it.

I can't think of anything right now.

sweepy62 · Feb 08, 2014 at 12:43 AM

Well to be fair I only had one session with this new t, I miss my recently gone old t. This new t kept saying we and us , when there is no such thing yet.

She's 3000 miles away.

I never get a straight answer from T when I ask him why he said or did something that surprised me.

Feb 08, 2014 at 03:32 AM

She nags at times.

someone321 · Feb 08, 2014 at 03:38 AM

I hate when she starts e-mails "Dear Mrs Last name" - I always sign mails only with first name and even when her responses are nice and "warm" this official begining annoys me...

Feb 08, 2014 at 04:47 AM

I don't like a lot of things lately and I am struggling to find something I do like.
I don't like the way she has to hug me, I hate the way she talks about the same stories all the time. I hate the way she self discloses a lot and talks up most of my hour talking about herself.
I hate the way she thinks she is so great and better than the other therapists in town.
I hate the way she will interrupt me when I am talking about serious things I need to say and go on and say another story of hers.
