I think I'm over my therapist.
He is my second on in a year. I liked him alright; my insurance covered him and he went to the same grad school as my old counselor who I could not afford to pay anymore. His office is a block from my apartment. Very convenient. I have been working with him since September. He is good, but I feel like he always misses really important things that I say. They go right over his head. "I just found out my brother has been dealing drugs" and he is right back to something we were talking about before my confession. Hello, sir, this is something that is bugging me and took me a long time to say. Anyway. Today were talking about why I'm in counseling and the such, and I said that it was pointless because I never really tell him anything. The problem isnt that I don't tell him anything, the problem is that he doesn't realize when I'm telling him something big. They go right over his head. I feel like he doesn't know me at all.
Anyways. For a couple months now, he hasn't been asking when we would like to meet again. He usually did before. A couple weeks I had to call him after my appointment to find a time to meet. I thought this was weird so I started asking to schedule appointments. The last four sessions he has asked "Maybe we could just skip next week" when I know that this not a good choice. I need counseling. He knows that I need counseling. It pisses me off that I am asking to make an appointment only to be told that I should skip a week. I have things to tell him. He knows that. I need to talk things out. He knows that. But there has just been this change in him the last couple of months where he is surprised to see me in the waiting room when I am there and he wouldn't mind if I never came back. It's just...strange.
Maybe it's just time to find a new therapist. I really wouldn't mind.
