In reply to had a really horrible session today *long*, posted by raisinb on March 27, 2008, at 18:38:20
It has been my experience that not every session is a home run. In fact, some just are outright bad.
Sometimes my therapist is off, sometimes I am off and there really isn't anything that either of us can abou it. It happens.
I completely understand your desire to hear her say that she cares for you. I think we all want to hear that from our therapists. However, it sounds as though your T has set a boundary regarding telling patients that.
I can also understand that. She may not trust herself to know which patients will be able to benefit from it versus which ones would actually be harmed.
But she evidentally has no problem showing patients that she cares for them. My therapist doesn't even deal with insurance (I have to file), much less say that he would throw a holy tantrum if they tried to cut me off. What a wonderful thing to say!
On the whole, I would rather have my therapist show me that he cares about me than tell me, sometimes words are hollow you know?
