In reply to Letting myself be vulnerable, calling my therapist, posted by brassneck on June 8, 2008, at 9:01:47
Hi Brassneck,
Welcome to babble.
I have major trust issues and have been seeing my T for over five years and I still cross my arms and legs tightly when I do not want to talk about something. My T told me early on that some people are blurters and some people slowly "get naked" and trust takes time to build. Good thing she has abundant patience.
I think you should ask your T about his policy on calling (or emailing) between sessions. My T is fine with it and it's really helped me get through a crisis. She told me in the first session to call her anytime I need her, but not in the middle of the night (she uses her home phone.)
I agree with you that therapy can be maddening and might I add frustrating?
