There are a lot of things I have noticed about myself that she hasn't even addressed, like my fear of failure, social anxiety, low self esteem. There are some things about me that are problems for me that we HAVE addressed and worked on. But I think I'd like to maybe not move on, just go in another direction and work on the things we haven't worked on bfore. The thing that irks me is that I have brought this up to her before and her response is: "But I thought that's what we were doing." I am tired of this response. The next time I have therapy, I am going to bring in a specific goal plan of what I want to work on. I think maybe her response will be agreeable, since I have done this before (but a long time ago) and she seemed to want to help. I have this worry in the back of my head though, that it may not work out. I have brought up the fact that she doesn't seem to understand my soical anxiety a lot and nothing has really changed. I have noticed that she has a different therapy style from most therapists. It's like she gives me her special homemade advice from her personality and how *she* thinks. Not from any psychology text book or grad school curriculum. I think I'm gonna go figure out what I need from her now. Maybe write it down. Cuz it's not really clear in my head right now. *sigh*
