In reply to NO therapy success??, posted by rainbowbrite on February 19, 2005, at 9:53:43
Hi Rain,
I'm sorry you are having some doubts about therapy. I'm in a similar situation as I don't feel I've gotten anything positive out of my therapy experience so far, and I am seriously beginning to question my T's effectiveness and skills with me. I struggle, though, because I know my T is competent with other clients, and I care for her to death, but I feel like she made some wrong turns and, while she meant well, our therapeutic relationship is no longer workable. I just wonder whether I should actually tell her this, or just limp along for a few more months.
I also think maybe I'm not ready for therapy yet. Perhaps you are in a place where you're not entirely ready, either, which can cause us to unconsciously thwart the therapy process and cause us to feel as if we're spinning our wheels and never getting anywhere.
Maybe you could talk about this problem itself, with your T? The fact that you don't think you are having much "success" and what she/he thinks and what you can do about it? (I apologize if this suggestion has been brought up and/or shot down....I admit I haven't read all of the replies).
Take care hon. Good luck to you.
Peace,
sv
