Anyone else experience this? The insecurity seems constant no matter the circumstances.

Yes. But it's got better. Much better.

What do you mean by insecurity? Do you have concrete examples?
My therapist is definitely insecure about some stuff and it showed in the beginning.

What do you mean by that? My t doesn't appear insecure, but I dont know how she is in personal life I can only judge by what she shares.

I don't understand what you're asking. Sorry.

Do you mean in your relationship with your T, or generally? I feel insecure at times in my relationship with my T, getting a bit more secure I think.

Just generally. I feel so insecure all the time.

Are you suggesting that your feelings of insecurity are a good topic to discuss with T? If so I would yes, very much so.

[Chummy]

I feel insecure. In therapy with T and in everyday life. In therapy I'm worried that T doesn't like me, thinks I'm dumb or that she gets annoyed by my lack of talking.

Oh...lol...I get it now. Yes, I understand how you feel. I deal with a great deal of insecurity myself when it comes to others. My therapist does not like how independent I try to be, dealing with things on my own. It's all due to habit, and some insecurity.

I've never before thought there was a connection between insecurity and independence. Thanks for that, it's making me think.

I really never did until I wrote that myself.... but it seems to make a lot of sense. My therapist may not agree (she says I NEED people, I say I don't), but my thought is, if you ARE more independent, able to care for yourself, not have to rely on too many others, then you start feeling more secure. Now I'm not a therapist, and most therapists probably wouldn't agree with this....but I'm not at all insecure when I'm alone. It's only around others. So.... it makes sense to me.

Oh I thought you think your t is insecure. I see now. I certainly think you should discuss insecurity with t

yes, a very important therapy topic. Meds helped my anxiety but not my underlying insecurity which made me prone to anxiety

Yes it makes sense to me too. I won't ask for help from anyone or share my problems with them because I feel too vulnerable doing so.
