ive been thinking, i do know for certain he cares about me. i dont know if he cares about me as much as i care about my clients. that's hard to assess but i do believe he cares about me quite a bit. but what i've been thinking is that i am much less concerned with him caring about me, since i have thought about it i realize he clearly does care about me. the issue is that i dont think there is anything in me worth caring about. i know this isnt true and i certainly dont feel this way all the time. the feeling is of being so hurt that there is no chance ill let anyone care or connect with me.
i was annoyed when baseball wrote "If, after 3 years, you can't overcome your distrust and you have had this problem with other therapists and been unable to work through it, it may be that individual therapy isn't going to work for you." when you(dinah) wrote that you agree with him that also annoyed me. it hurts to think i may not be well enough to benefit from therapy. im not sure its really fair for either of you to make a statement like that. its scary to think i cant be helped by therapy. it makes me feel really alone and damaged to consider not being able to connect to another person enough to benefit from a therapy relationship.
