In reply to Help!!! I've called and more about today, posted by jammerlich on June 19, 2007, at 19:59:15
well, even though i am new, i thought i would jump in here because it seems like you are out on a bit of a limb. i know the feeling. i hope you were able to talk with your T last night or at least that you feel better this morning and will have a chance to talk with her today.
i have found that some Ts are more open to answering questions than others; i had one T who did a similar thing to yours -- she said i could ask but then would only turn it back on me as if she wanted me to ask just so she could analyze my motivations, the reasons why i asked. my current T is much more open about answering questions i ask directly. that said, there have been a couple of times that she wouldn't but at least she spent time both explaining to me why she wasn't sure it would be helpful and hearing about how hurt i felt to have her not answer. i think that's a reasonable thing to ask for from your T, that even if she won't answer that she can explain why and then also hear you out and your need to talk about how it hurts. it sounds like yours isn't really acknowledging that it feels bad to you that she's dodging questions.
i hope you are feeling better today...
