In reply to I have no idea what to talk about with my T, posted by Nadezda on September 16, 2008, at 9:57:45
This sounds painful. I'm always concerned on some level that my therapist is sick of talking about the same things over and over again, but she's never indicated as such. One of the reasons why I talk about the same things so much is that I don't remember things very well session to session, so I can understand how you might have no idea what your therapist has been saying. I often only have a vague recollection of what my therapist says.
What is therapy for, if not to discuss our concerns?
If you want to work this out with your therapist, I hope that you can maybe try to have a talk with him about what you've just described in your post - about feeling clueless. If you don't want to work it out, or if it feels like you've already tried to no avail, it might just be time to move on. Even as I type that though, I'm cringing for you, because I know how difficult it can be to pick up and leave after having invested so much in a therapy relationship.
Good luck.
