In reply to What is my T doing?, posted by llurpsienoodle on August 8, 2008, at 17:41:39
I think your post here llurpsie put how I'm feeling in my own therapy into words in a much clearer way than I've been able to. I experience the same thing with my current T and have had the same issue with some past Ts as well. I share that only to say that I understand how frustrating it can be. For me, it feels very invalidating when my T consistently glosses over the real issues and unhealthy behaviors over and over again, despite my requests to do things differently. Like how I truly feel isnt real or important... just like growing up.
My pdoc said a few weeks back that she believes there should be therapists out there who are specially trained to treat people who work in the field. I dont know that she meant it literally, but she has said many times that treating someone in the field is different and more difficult for her. She isnt a real winner of a doc/T usually, but I agree with her there.
Sorry I cant offer better advice. If I figure out a magic fix I'll surely let you know... :)
