Hi Susan,

You're not a bad client, you're just trying to get comfortable with your therapist. For me, trust took months, and on some things I still can't open up, no matter how nicely she asks the questions.

I'm in the states, my therapist has a master's degree in social work, with advanced training in therapy. I don't know about educational and training requirements in Canada, but I think it must be close.

I've been seeing my therapist for 17 months and I feel like I'm flying backwards for every baby step I take ahead. She told me that this happens in therapy, and that I am progressing, she sees it, even if I can't.

Therapy can be frustrating, but try hard to stick with it. If you don't click with your assigned therapist, ask for another one. Sometimes auditioning therapist, despite the sometimes lengthy wait is best.

Hope I helped.

Poet
