On Getting your therapist to read stuff:
My first therapist loved it when I journalled and gave her the journalling. I gave her 1 - 5 pages every week. I went through 12 folders for my chart. She read every word.
My new therapist won't take anything from me to read later (he told me that he would never promise to actually read it). He won't read anything I give him in the session either (he says it makes me not "present" in the session). He can tolerate if I read something short in the session (at least then he can see my emotions and we are focusing in the same thing). I am trying to write less and be more spontaneous (which is really hard for me). He is trying to accept that sometimes getting it in writing at the time is worthwhile.
Why shouldn't the Perfect Client use an Internet Board? I, a Perfect Client, want to learn everything I can so I can be more Perfect (does that make me a member of the "Perfectest Client Club"?)
