If she is trying to focuse on you then, that is a good sign. It is her job to focus on you during your appointment. That is what they are getting paid for, how can they help you if they aren't truely "there". In a way she is like your friends T, asleep , but with her eyes open. You deserve her 100% attention during therapy sessions. But at least she is trying, but she needs to try harder, I think.> Anyway, my next appt. is on Monday. I guess I'll try to bring some of this stuff up with her then. At least I'm thinking of mentioning my thinking about going to see someone else and how hard that would be, such that it seems impossible. I don't know if I'll actually have the guts to do that. I really like Daisy's idea, though, of asking *her* what she sees as her strengths and weaknesses. I definitely want to try that. This seems important to address, even if I need to do it tactfully.

Yes, bring it on! I don't know what she thinks about herself is as important as how she is making you feel. There are enough people in the world that ignores us, at least we should be able to count on our T's for our their full attention. Can you imagaine if you were having surgery, and your surgeon was like this? not good, right? lol She can do better for you, bring it to her attention and give her a chance. :)>
