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

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.

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.
Thanks for this!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

I don't like how my T sometimes tries to finish my sentences or guess what I'm saying, instead of letting me fully explain. She also talks about me in third person a lot which is endearing at times, but gets annoying fast.
There are also times she gets a bit too defensive, which makes me nervous to tell her if she did or said something that confused me or made me feel bad.
There are a few others I can't think of at the moment. But the good in her outweighs the bad by FAR.

I could wish that his memory was a little better, sometimes. Not that he is forgetful in general, but sometimes he forgets things I've said, even quite important things.

I don't like how my T speaks about me to his other clients. He's not even supposed to acknowledge that I see him but he'll tell you whatever you want to know about me if you ask him (whether he knows or not, he'll just improvise).

I do not like it when he blows his nose and looks inside the kleenex
or that he's raised his rates 40% in the last 2 years. I'm getting paranoid that it's a hint. Plus, it's bleeding me dry.
