Dear T,
I'm scared to read your response that's sitting in my inbox. You were kind and understanding, right? LT |

Dear T,
Upon first read, I think my fears about your response were simultaneously founded and unfounded, if that's at all possible. I feel like you're hearing me and I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you seem to be really trying to do things for my best interest. I just wish you were more comfortable with parts of it. Though...I guess it's better that you're honest about that? Just kinda wish you'd been honest about that, oh, I don't know, 8 months ago, like in our first few sessions... But it feels like you genuinely want to work with me, that you care about me, that you want to try to deal with your discomfort, that you want to better understand. So, thanks, and see you Monday. --LT |

The T's really struggle with being the center of a client's imagination/ focus/ preoccupation. I almost generalized to male T's with female patients, but I didn't want to be sexist. My T and I talked about how the #me too moment in culture really affects them in therapy, as they bend over backwards to separate themselves from all forms of toxic masculinity, any hint of impropriety etc and are privy to really difficult stories of men hurting women in different ways. I think there is a a sincere caring to stay on the right side of every line in the good T's, and if the client can be mistaken for having a romantic interest they get freaked. . (Mine seem too to have a jealous wife, and I get that. I would be really weirded out by my SO having heart to heart talks with women all day I think. He never told me that, but she decorates his office with her pictures lol). This post is kind of shallow in a way, but I think it is a big picture that male T's have to kind of keep in mind that affect the small picture- our intimate hour with them and other communications.

Almost time for the session you cancelled on my behalf. So nice of you to ask how I'd feel about it or take into consideration how broken I was over it on the phone.

i really hope it is my irrational side of my brain that is not reacting positively to the email you sent. my logical side says you probably wrote back in between sessions, hence the short reply. my non-logical side only notices that you didn’t mention anything about how nervous i already am. you have finally reached your frustration point, right?

After reading your email after yesterday's session. For the first time I felt like you really cared.
"And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"" I feel like a part of me is in love with you. >6 hours studying today. >Psychology exam on tuesday and I don't feel well. |

I love you and the playfulness of our dark matter exchange makes me realise that the human to human part of our relationship has been lacking recently, and that has probably been part of the disconnection too.

You said my feelings don't have to hurt me, but they DO hurt. I don't get it.

Today I worked in the garden and here’s what I thought about: the garden. And the sky and the sun and where to put my tomatoes and how lovely the irises look and watering the peppers.
The topics of our last sessions allowed me to let go of a burden I didn’t know I was carrying. I feel like I put down a heavy spiritual burden that wasn’t mine to carry in the first place, and I walked away without looking back. I feel like my self again. Is that shift too sudden? I am not foolish enough to think everything is all better. As long as I live the way I live, I will need a safe space to talk about how hard it can be. But I don’t think I need therapy in the same gritting my teeth till the next appointment way I needed it before. I think I’ll try coming monthly.

Warm...I think that is AMAZING. If I ever get to feel that way, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. You have insight to realize that it isn't all rosy and perfect, and if you need therapy in the future, you'd use it.
I think that is awesome. |

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