Ugh! I’m so frustrated! I’ve been with this therapist for 4 months. I’ve shared (for the first time ever) my CSA which was incredibly painful. I chose to share this because I felt like I needed to. There have been times when I have felt that she is trying to genuinely help and cares about my well being. But most of the time when I talk/share she is silent and says “uh-huh.” I feel that she is frustrated that I’m not grasping this whole inner child thing. She HAS had to repeat herself and RE-explain. But lately I feel like she’s frustrated with me and even zings me with sarcastic hurtful remarks. I don’t feel like I’m doing this correctly and trust me, I’m frustrated with myself. But I’m only told how I’m not doing this correctly… I never get words of encouragement.
I actually like her directness. I don’t like a “yes-man.” But lately it’s felt hurtful. She has a “take it or leave it… it’s your choice” attitude. This makes me angry because the there’s only one right choice. I’m not 4.
She acts bored and irritated and I don’t think she genuinely likes me as a person. Why am I still going?? Because I’ve invested so much money/time and most of my insurance benefits by going to her. Starting over when this person already know my story seems harder than sticking with her. I’m afraid if I quit… I will never start this process again. UGH! Any advice?
