No idea. The only way to know why she’s doing anything? Is to ask her. The same action can have countless motivations behind it. The...

I am aware that my therapist mirrors me at times. I think it’s supposed to help a client become aware of their own behavior. If you...

My trauma is childhood based. I really struggled to open up / even talk at times. My therapist (a psychologist) was the opposite to me...

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Therapist seems to be matching the attachment style she believes I had with my...

No early childhood / developmental trauma here, so attachment theory doesn’t apply, and isn’t a part of my therapy. My problems with...

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate any input from therapists/psychologists and people in therapy. I was wondering if therapists...

i didn't bother trying to talk to them after the second attempt, nor do i care a flying fig why i was treated so badly by people who...

I agree with the comments about asking her. You are the client and you have a right to ask and discuss how you feel. I see a consultant...

Two thoughts now. Maybe time for a new T? Better fit perhaps? Sometimes we just want it to work but it doesn't? Just guessing. Also...

This is what you say to her. It really doesn’t matter what any of us think because that’s a distraction. There is one person who has...

It's just your PTSD lying to you. All you need to do is tell her how you feel. Start there.

Yes. I had a very good relationship with my therapist until we went remote. He got more and more distant and wasn't helping at all. When...

Thanks a lot for the reply! I’m so puzzled by it and so distressed. Thought to give her time to see if something changes before saying...

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply I really appreciate your input! Has any of you had similar experiences with the...

Remember who's paying for the therapy? Stand up for yourself. Stop things when you don't like whats going on and say so. Sounds to me...

yes, i've had similar experiences. i, too, ask why when i can but don't press it on the evasion tactics, or whatever is causing the...

Also someone here for asking her and letting her know how you're experiencing her. Either that conversation will be the beginning of...

I would ask her.

Have you told her what she's doing isn't working for you?

Hi everyone, l'm so distressed right now. I would really appreciate your input. Is anyone of you doing therapy online? My therapist...
