It was really bad this past session. I wanted to beg my T not to ask me to leave, but in the end I said nothing.

Have you experienced this or something similar?
Yes. Exactly the same thing. Every appointment.

I guess the questions is, what should I do about it?

Tell him how I feel and why I think I feel like that.

Do nothing

Or...another alternative I've not thought of

?

Perhaps you can talk about it?
I've experienced similar. Haven't told T, though my reluctance is probably really obvious to her.

I never want to leave after my session either. It was better when we had 90 minute sessions; an hour seems to fly by. I used to often say "I don't want to leave" but usually now I'm able to "take my T with me." If she has to leave the building after my session, which doesn't happen too often, we'll walk out together. My T is like a magnet. I'm always drawn to her and to my sessions but I have a lot going for me in my real life so it balances out.
Thanks for this!

I see my T twice a week plus I can have out of session contact so maybe that's why it's not hard for me to leave I suppose

I have thought there would be various times I would fall down the stairs I ran out so quickly. I understand how someone would feel the opposite as I do. Much of my current "work" is actually showing up and staying there for an hour or sometimes more because I don't pay attention to time (almost never) and I'm not quite sure what she wants from me. I'm assuming dependency. Therapy is can be too tricky for me sometimes.

I see mine 3-4 times a week and have out of session contact and I still hate leaving her office.

I'm the same. I feel so alone all week and it's hard. I feel afraid of my dangerous thoughts and my bad self-care and my sadness. It's just nice to sit with someone who speaks to me kindly and caringly and lets me cry without judging. It's safer to cry with someone there.

I've been feeling a lot of anxiety lately and feel that it might be fueled by my therapist. I get nervous so much even just in anticipation of our sessions nowadays. Often when I think about him I feel sick. I know that shouldn't be the case with therapy. I think it's because I'm worried about what would happen next, or how far will he push it? I don't understand why I'm having this reaction. Like I said, I keep going back and forth between wanting him and wanting to get away from him. I mean, I'm always disappionted with literally EVERYTHING he says or does. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is it I'm getting from him or what I even want. A year ago I would have been so sure. Some days I want him so much. But how long can you keep wanting someone that doesn't give a ****?

Maybe, deep down, I know that he doesn't really care about me, and so I feel un-safe (even if he won't harm me mentally or physically). I'm not sure.

It is your wisdom and self-respect I hear in this post, Winenot. I really hope you can trust your very good instincts on this and get away from him. He is hurting you and that is plain to see

It's okay- it was an old thread anyways. No harm done.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
