There are 2 possibilities.....
1) this person is not right for you
2) this person is on the right path in helping you and you are resisting them. Change is hard and at first is not to fun....but no one goes to thearpy, paying hard cash, to have someone say you are great and fine and agree with you. You are there because there is a problem you want help with.
Be upfront with the social worker about your conserns and see how they react. At the same time
look deep w/i yourself and ask if what they are saying is true.I've seen too many hurting people walk out after a few sessions just because someone was honest with them. It is also possible that this person is not for you, so give it some more sessions and if you really feel things are not right find someone else.
It is not what you say...it is what you do...therapy is about looking beyond the ez talk
for the hidden meanings ( the real reasons )james
