(((((((((((((Pinksoil)))))))))))))
This letter breaks my heart. I hope you send it federal express so he gets it Monday! It is so gut wrenching and your deep pain is evident in every sentence. I'm so sorry that you feel this way now and I hope you can stay safe. So wtf is this thing called the therapeutic relationship? It's a "power on one side" relationship that has the potential to be very very healing or very very painful? or both? I also pray and hope that a you and T can dialogue surrounding this pain you are feeling. Maybe you can call again today and leave another message? This time tell him to call you back. Peace

You know what? When I left him the message yesterday, I did not tell him to call me back. I pretty much just told him a bunch of stuff I wanted him to know. And this is the first time I ever did that and have not been pasted to my cell phone praying that he would call back. At this point, I'm not sure that I even want to talk to him. I am having such a hard time with this and am overwhelmed with thoughts of terminating therapy.
 I just can't understand what I'm doing wrong to not be able to take away any positive feelings from therapy. And it's not just because of this incident. It has been like this for awhile. The relationship is painful. Maybe I am just not cut out for therapy. As a therapist, I know what I'm doing-- but as a patient, I don't know that I can handle it.

Your letter just made me cry Pink...I feel your pain right now as my T is moving someday and this will be my reality too.
Here is what I would do as soon as possible, ask him directly, are you going to be my T in the future or should I expect that you might not be? This has to be a direct question from you to him. He may not give you a reason why he is leaving the clinic but he needs to tell you whether he will someday no longer be your T. I think if you get that answer you'll feel a bit better...

I feel your pain too. I don't understand this theraputic relationship. They make you feel so cared about and loved and then poof their gone. I dread the day it happens to me.
I hope something positive comes out of this for you. |

You have taken away positive feelings before; you have to work through now, this unpleasant, inhospitable "terrain" and get to better feeding grounds.

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