In reply to why can't I leave therapy?, posted by Tamar on December 24, 2006, at 21:56:50
From what you have described, it does sound like he was insensitive to your appointment on Friday. He should have told you a few weeks in advance and offered to reschedule that appointment earlier in the day or week (at least that is what my therapist would have offered).
I'm sadden to read you have been so sad recently. I wish my magic wand was working but it seems to be on the blink as of late.
Therapists are VERY hard to leave - at least I think so. And just because you are going through a rough time now, it doesn't mean you should quit therapy or that he is "bad" for you. It could mean several things. But I do understand your frustration. From what I recall from previous posts, I think (and what do I know?) it boils down (mostly)to his training (that's my guess). You are an analytical thinker. You like to examine feelings from all angles and points of view. You are smart. Your t is not psychodynamic or an analysis. He usually does short term treatment (I think). So he wants to help you, he does, but I think he is stepping outside his comfort zone, and that is the boundary you keep pushing into.
I'm exhausted but wanted to respond before my brain turned to total mush. Sorry I don't have more insights to offer right now.
Wishing you peace in your heart.
