In reply to therapy = not helpful! (long + rambling), posted by wishingstar on June 19, 2007, at 9:18:33

I wish I knew what to say. It sounds like you really are on different pages. Hopefully you'll feel like you can work more therapeutically with the new T, although I do understand that you like Ginny and wish it would work out with her. I wish it would too, but if this is happening repeatedly it sounds like it might not.
You sound so much like me. For the longest time I never cried, and I don't think I sounded the least bit upset when I talked to my T, but somehow he could see that I was upset. I hope you can find a T like that.
Would it help to tell your new T right from the start that it's been hard to connect with Ginny and that you're really looking for someone who can see that you're upset even if you aren't acting particularly upset? It might help to be very upfront about that, although I think you have been with Ginny too.
Hang in there. Scheduling issues are rough and can sometimes be hard for the T too to remember what's been going on from session to session. If you think it's something that can be worked out, then by all means call Ginny and ask for the appointment sooner. Tell her you've been feeling upset lately and need to talk about that and for her to hear that.
I wish I had more help to offer. But keep posting. We're here for you.
