I am new to this community and I appreciate your thoughts. I am starting with a new T this week. My last experience which I ended recently was so unhealthy. She had one approach to dealing with my ACA problems and low self esteem and it wasn't working for me. I tried to tell her that I was frustrated and felt I wasn't making progress and she just dismissed my cries for help. I felt like I failed. (Can you fail therapy?) I think she was so invested in her idea that she was blinded to my needs and frustrations. It is so good to read the positive relationships some of you have developed with your T and that dealing with frustrations and doubts can be openly talked about. I stil need to work on my closure with the old T. but I am looking forward to meeting my new T. and a little nervous. (Since I hate failure). I know there may be times my therapy may not go the way I want, but I am optimistic that my new T will by supportive. Thank you!

You didn't fail, sometimes we don't click with a T or their approach is not right for us.

I met my new T today and wow what a difference. She was friendly and actually asked questions about my goals and what my life was like growing up and what and where I am now. I think I shared more with her in the hour today then I did all those months with my old one. And not once did I hear "are you done with your story?"
She shared with me some ideas that we can work on to start. I am really optimistic that I can actually achieve some of my goals with her help. |
