I am having alot of trouble with T during session.
He stares, alot. Last session he said today (todays session) we would talk about trauma that happened. That raised my anxiety for a whole week then BAM nothing. We talked about his engagement and everytime I brought up something that was bothering me he would redirect it to his engagement or my school work which isn't what I am in therapy for. I contacted an old T that I liked (except that he won't text between sessions )) and I am waiting for his call back.
I am so sick of wasting session times expecting something he said we would work on and getting no where except talking about HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Whenever I bring up a problem he just says "I'm sorry". Which isn't something I really want to hear, because he has nothing to be sorry about. I called other therapists around and they couldn't see me (broke college student lol).
I want to see if my old T will call back and if not, I can try to find someone else or see someone I use to see.

It's driving me crazy. I finally want to delve into some serious issues and I can't.

For sure. He clearly doesn't 'get' what being a therapist is about. It's like he's using you as his therapist. Somebody to brag to.

Is there anyone else at the same office? Or does he have a supervisor of some type that you could discuss this with?

I think you should definitely stop seeing your current therapist. He is NOT DOING HIS JOB! I hope you will be able to find someone who is genuinely interested in helping you.

If I were in your position I would stop seeing him with or without a new T. Your sessions are essentially useless and making you frustrated on top of your existing issues. It's a complete waste of your money and time. It's not necessary for you to tell him or schedule a final session if you do decide to drop him, but if you do, I would tell him how ineffective he is. If not, then if he is part of a practice or clinic I would tell the director.

You deserve a therapist who wants to work with you on your problems. That is what therapy is for. I suggest dropping this guy and finding someone else.

You should send him an engagement ring and tell him it is off lol no seriously though get rid of him he doesnt sound very helpful.
