> I don't know, but when I read your post, one reaction I had was to how inadequate you seem to feel as a patient in therapy. You are berating yourself for not being a good enough patient--not changing your thoughts. Give yourself a break! You are in therapy for feeling inadequate, the last thing you need is for the therapy to make you feel inadequate.

> I don't know, but I hope you can be a little less harsh on yourself.My shrink made me feel inadequate and a faliure also. But 3 years later, I still went back to her. Just another example of not knowing how to deal with people.Again she shunned me and purposely missed our final appointment. I want to call her home and yell at her. Too wishy washy to sue. Well I didn't try hard enough, never did the home work aingments, but for crying out loud, I am very depressed and suicidal. Did she think a few months of zoloft would snap me out of things? Lots of crooks out there. I am always being taken advantae of and I don't know how to fight it off.
