> Here is how I see it. Your two posts appear linked to me. They both have to do with a therapist who you feel is not helping you. The second is more like how long before I should see progress with this therapist?
Well, the threads obviously have some similarities because they were written by the same person, and they make reference to the same T. But they're not discussing the same subject.
> What I was saying was that it depends on a number of factors--what you bring to the table in the way of problems, needs, demands, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, trust, etc, and the therapist style, type of therapy, etc.
Well, that's pretty obvious. I wanted to hear other people's experiences to be able to get a feel for how therapy has helped them and how long it's taken them to see any results and recovery from their depression. And apparently everybody understood my OP except for you.. I don't know why.
> It seems to me from your response to me that you are annoyed with me and what I said. That is okay with me. I see your two threads as linked and having to do with your therapist. This is my opinion.
Hmmm.. I felt annoyed because you sounded hostile and accusatory. You sounded angry about the fact that I happened to mention my T, and you implied that this thread was only a repetition of my previous thread. You even said that all what this thread said is that I "dislike" my T. I never said that in *this* thread. That was the OTHER thread.
Then you started lecturing on how nobody can answer my questions, and that I should address those questions to my T..
Hey, what questions? And what should I ask my T? Did you read the OP? Read it again: "How long into therapy can you see progress?"
People are sharing how long it's taken them to see progress, did you realize? Well, that's what I wanted to talk about, and I'm getting great feedback. Nobody is talking about me not liking my T, and I'm not talking about that either.
Sorry that you misunderstood my thread. I don't know what else to say. I think we should just move on.
