Just because you pay for therapy does not mean your therapist doesn't care. For example, I pay and yet I know my therapist cares about what happens to me. He also knows how hard it is to work on things. I wish it were different. What it all boils down to in the end no matter the therapeutic approach is that a therapist helps us learn how to help ourselves and move on with life. Sounds cold, but it doesn't have to be that way. It can be a very warm, intimate, and moving experience. Don't think because you pay, your therpist doesn't care. My therapist does some free therapy, but I pay. And I should since I can afford to pay.
I am not sure what happened with your therapist, and so I may be whistling in the wind. You said you learned he is fallible. Well, yes that is true. We all are no matter what line of work we are in. You are right; he is not perfect. This does not mean he doesn't care and can't help, though.
So how come you feel so disconnnected and alone? Did he say something insenstive? And why would you feel like a treatment failure??? This makes no sense to me as I sure don't see you that way. ((((Dory))))
