im really sick of therapy and i want to end it, but i know im much worse than i have been, worse even then when i started therapy [though less obvious], but im hiding it from my therapist, mostly because im lazy at explaining things and i dont know what she'll tell my parents. i mean, i can't talk to her about anything if she might tell my parents. if she decides something could be a threat to me or other people, she can tell. so i just pretend to be normal so i can get out of it. im only going every other week now, but i just dont want to do it anymore.

I understand your concerns and that you must feel kind stuck. I hope you won't stop therapy when you still have things to work on. Difficult things can be worked out. Approach this subject in general terms with your T. Without telling her the details, talk with her about this, telling her in general that there are things you really wish to discuss with her, tell her about, and the fears you have of her feeling a need to tell your parents. See how that goes. Perhaps she and you can work out something here, but please involve her in the decision-making and give her a chance to offer you a solution. Wouildn't it feel great to resolve your fears of telling her and her telling your parents, so that you could talk about it. Start as we do with some subjects.... talk about talking about it.

Yes... I think that you need to ask your T what her policy is on communicating with parents and you can provide your own input of your guidelines. You and your T could even sign a contract to make it more solid in both of your minds.
Without this agreement you will not get anywhere. In order to make progress you will need to be able to talk to your T honestly so it is important to find the trust of your T, then move forward. If you feel that you can not get this with this T then you need to change T's perhaps. You need to be truthful and real in order to make progress. Wishing you well. Therapy can be a wonderful thing... difficult but productive. Take care. |
