Does the therapist you hire make sense when they talk?

Do you remember what the therapist says that makes sense or that does not?
The ones I hired never made sense.
I remember about 3 things:
The first one I ever hired said she was not impervious to me.
The recent first woman said she was not the enemy.
The second woman waived her left hand at me and told me she was married (it apparently happened in the middle of the time I hired her). She was way excited to be married.

If by sense, you mean that words and their meanings when strung together are coherent, then the therapist sometimes makes sense and sometimes does not. I don't always see whatever point it is she thinks she's making. In that way, even when what she says makes "sense," it does not make sense to me.

Almost always. He got a bit rambly the other week and said "am I making sense?" I said "not really, I've no idea what you're talking about" and we laughed and moved on. Mostly he talks a lot of sense.

Yes. If by some chance I am having difficulty I will ask questions.

Sure he did.

Whenever Info tries to explain anything about therapy or me, there are huge logical leaps and self-contradictions and circular arguments.

So no.

Definitely.

Mine usually makes sense (though can ramble at times), and if I don't understand something he's talking about, I ask him about it, either at the time or later (sometimes I don't realize until later that I didn't completely understand something).

Usually yes. If not I ask questions.

Yes, usually.

Yes. If I need clarification I'll ask for it.

I dealt with workplace sexual harassment over the transition to two therapists. The first said: “is he so bad, he hired you didn’t he? The second therapists told me the offender had “boundary disturbances.” Finally a friend told me I need not put up with it, giving me the necessary support to tell the offender to back off.

Though maybe telling an offender they have “boundary disturbances” works, who knows.

I never had a problem asking for clarification. I never met a therapist who would do it.

Why would i hire someone who talks nonsense? I can get that for free on tv / the internet / the white house etc.

Yes, she does. And she helps me understand myself, and my thoughts and feelings...rather than leaving me swimming in the soup.

It would be odd to continue working with someone whom you considered to be nonsensical, unless transference was clouding your judgement I suppose.

Most of the time yes. Sometimes she rambles, but she usually catches herself and then asks me if I understand what she means.

She makes more sense than the vast majority of people in my life, but that doesn't mean she always makes sense. But she's always willing to try and clarify.

Almost always, yes.

I’d not waste my precious time choosing to be in proximity of people who make no sense (unless I am required to do such a thing as part of my job description and am getting paid). I’d certainly not do such thing for free let alone pay for it!

It doesn’t mean I always agree with my t or even that I always need her to say anything at all (I often just need a neutral party to listen to my ramblings lol) but I sure won’t tolerate “nonsense” talk

Mine sure does. She sometimes repeats back to me the gist of what I have said just to confirm I have made sense to her. She speaks concisely, coherently, with a great deal of context to her dialogue. I've never had difficulty understanding her. Yep, I leave feeling I have been on the same page with what has been said and what I am to do quite clear in my mind.

My former T and my current T have stopped and asked me, do you understand what I'm saying, or are you confused? Stuff like that. Usually I am not understanding when they ask me that. My current T said, "you have a blank look on your face, am I not making sense?" Must not have been. Had no idea what she was talking about. Kit
