Honestly, I don't know what my gut is telling me about her. When I think about how therapy might be easier with someone else, I'm also reminded that I am currently in the perfect situation to work through my issues. It would be nice if she felt more emotionally "there" rather than intellectually there, but a lot of people find it easier if their therapist doesn't give them warm fuzzies.
I don't know if my urge to run out the door is my gut saying this isn't right, or if it's just me being defensive and avoiding my issues. I love and hate therapy at the same time. I've been with other therapists over the years (always men) but they have never made me feel that they were getting too close to my tender spots. The fact that she's gotten there so quickly, after only 4 sessions, makes me think she's good. She may be both the best and the worst person in the world for me to talk about rejection with. The reasons for "best" and the "worst" is the same--my history with her. I'm having a really hard time differentiating between what my head, my heart, and my gut are telling me.
What was it that made you finally decide that your therapist wasn't right for you?
