My T asked me this week what goals i would like to work on. I had started counseling with 2 very specific goal. And guess what...i achieved them both just recently. I continued going to see T...he might be thinking why i m coming back. Or he doesnt know what to work on now.
When he asked...i was caught off guard. I felt embarassed...that he maybe thinking i no longer need to come. So i told him...that i m afraid i ll let go of everything i have achieved. I will drop everything when i m overhelmed n having a emotional meltdown. T said okay. ????? I m not sure of what to do. Should i cut down my sessions if i dont have something pressing to discuss? I feel like if i miss one session it creates distance. Its harder to go back..like i can go another week without T...what will i say this week? Its kinda like losing a bit of connection. Does your T revisit your goals for therapy? If yes then i would stop analyzing n just continue. Maybe he asked for insurance purpose? |

There possibly is an element of asking for insurance purposes, since insurance companies only really like to pay if you're actually working on something. It's hard to justify payment for therapy if you're not making progress.

Yes mine asks this type of question when it seems like I'm "stuck," as a sort of reminder of why I'm there in the first place.

I wouldn't sweat it. I suspect your t was curious about how well you thought you are doing and wanted to know if there is anything else that you would add now that you are this far along in the process. |

I have never had one of them mention the word goals to me unless maybe at the very beginning

We review every 6 months. What I've learned and any goal changes.

My T asks me about my goals when I get stuck and I always freak out that he is kicking me out (he isn't). My goal is very very broad and it's a good chance for us to look at breaking out some smaller goals to focus on in the short term.
