In reply to Session - Stuck?, posted by Speaker on February 26, 2005, at 13:34:04
> This weeks session was very different. I wasn't going to go and then decided I needed to work on deciding what I was going to do. My T told me he thinks I am stuck and that I have taken a step back (Duhhh...not calling back makes me question trust) and I agreed. I said maybe I have done all I can do with him...he said he doesn't think so. He has no clue even though I tried to explain that I don't trust that we are a team as he puts it when I can't depend on him. The csa is tortursum enough without having to wonder if he is really there for me or just analyzing me.
That was I think why I started phoning my last therapist between sessions and when he wasn't there I was leaving all kinds of emotional thinking behind on the machine. I was wanting to build the trust. You're really strong for not doing that, not even considering it. I just want to stand up and cheer for you, Speaker - you know exactly what your feelings are, and you're communicating with your T even though you haven't fully trusted him yet. Yay. I think, from my personal therapy experiences anyway, that you're right on target in needing to make this a big deal AND in being able to tell your T how you feel.
