Jazzed,

I guess I would be concerned because this is only the 4th session. Generally at the beginning, therapists are just listening to you and your story and why you're there. They're not pushing too hard (or maybe they are in CBT - I'm not sure about that) but I think for the most part those first few sessions are just a relief for the client, especially if you've never been in therapy or haven't for a long time. Ahh, here's someone who wants to listen and understand me and help me. I know that it was that way for me for at least a few months.

Then when you're deep into therapy and the attachment starts to kick in and the abandonment fears and the therapist will start to push and chip away at resistances and get at the deep underlying issues that's generally when it becomes so much more painful.

But with this guy it seems like you haven't established that first connection. Something to think about I guess.
