I'm frustrated with therapy lately and been struggling with the internal question I can't figure out, so maybe you guys can help me out...how does a person go about being 'successful" in therapy? What are the indicators that you're doing well and why does it seem like it feels as if Im being punished for doing better in my life--therefore, I need less weekly appointments with my therapist? My therapist has made a point of telling me that "therapy isn't recreational" and I felt badly for possibly insinuating that his job wasn't important and have been more aware of what I bother him with now....I feel so disconnected with after 2 weeks of not seeing him and to add insult to injury after I goggled him, I found out all these really exciting events/conferences he's doing (some of which are online) that I had no idea about :( I am supposed to call/email him whenever I'm ready this week to schedule our next appointment, but I feel like I don't even want to contact him anymore. I think I'm hoping he'll eventually realize I haven't called him and then he'll make an effort to be in touch with me...? I was kidding around with him when I said this, but I'm so attached to him I probably need to seek therapy now to cope with my feelings about my current therapist...ha-ha Im such a mess ;)
