In reply to is therapy really useful?, posted by wishingstar on April 3, 2007, at 12:56:15
i worry about that. i have a lot on the burner right now, important things that i cannot face alone. My friends and family are way out of their depth with it too. i worry about not getting to the deeper stuff. Of course, my former T did not help that worry because he was more of a purist with the CBT and he wanted to keep me focussed on the now stuff anyway.
OTOH the new T already made one brilliant connection that had honestly never occurred to me. That really peaked my interest.
i think what Daisy said relates to one thought i had too... have you ever wondered if the need or drive, that urgency you mentioned, that maybe it's a way to distract yourself and you T from getting to the bigger stuff? i'm not suggesting that the "now" stuff isn't important, i am just wondering if it's always important. If it is then you are going to be facing a lot of basic crisis management.
i am mostly worried because i can only go every second week. Since the relationship is new i have to spend time getting to know him and him me.
