In reply to My therapist really screwed up, posted by jammerlich on October 24, 2006, at 16:46:03
Oh, wow, yes I think your therapist screwed that one up. I have a hard time understanding how she could have not read what you gave her. I mean, not if she accepted the envelope full of stuff in the first place. If she wasn't going to have time to read it, she should have told you that when you gave it to her. Which would have hurt, but probably not more than this, and it would have been more honest.
Although, I do give her credit for not lying about having read your stuff when she didn't. At least she's admiting her mistake (she is admitting that it was a mistake not to read what you gave her, isn't she?).
Oh, it hurts, though, doesn't it? My ex-T used to not give me enough response when I gave him things to read also. I guess the idea was that I was supposed to bring up what was important. But it's confusing, because I thought I *was* bringing it up by giving him those things to read. It always felt like he dropped the ball when he didn't then respond. Was I supposed to give him all my writings and then *also* bring it up in sessions? I guess so. That hurts; it feels like disinterest from the T.
Anyway, do let us know how it goes when you talk to her after she reads your stuff. I hope things get a lot better from here for you.
