In reply to Yet another T attraction thread (after termination, posted by beautymarked on December 1, 2007, at 11:57:49
I've decided not to go back to this T. I'm going to see the T that knew me best (although it'll be in over a month's time, unfortunately), so that I can be completely honest and work through my thoughts and feelings in a therapeutic fashion. I never knew before coming to this board how important it is to be completely honest--to show ALL those layers. I saw, today, a video in my college about person-centered therapy with Rogers. It shocked me how similar the patient's reactions were to mine. I was so completely disillusioned that someone had the same feelings of the T not helping, seeking external reinforcement, and expressing feelings (though this time fatherlike) to the T. I guess we should all have a little more faith in our Ts that they can handle us. They're trained to.
In the meantime, I'll let my attraction for my T fade. I'll be sure to ask my old T all the right questions, what orientation he is, my feelings about our incomplete termination with both current and past Ts, etc. Thanks for everyone's views. It really helped me in forming a more realistic, cohesive view of the situation, so that I could make a better judgment decision for myself.
