> Welllll, I don't like that she goes away so often, and I don't blame you for being angry with that.
**ya, its does make it hard, but at least she taking care of herself...don't s'pose she thot I'd still be around after all this time. Thats the part thats hard. Lack of continuity makes it hard to keep trust. But then a break now and again i think is good as well. I just think mebbe the timings haven't been so great, but then c'est la vie I suppose.

> But otherwise she seems pretty trustworthy and consistent in caring about you. I think I saw a post from you recently on the positive changes you've seen in yourself since you first started seeing her.*yes she is good. And she proly good cuz she takes care of herself and takes breaks! Arrrgghhh!!! ;-)
And yes, I am a long way from where i was a coupla years ago...> I don't know about you, but often I start to distrust my therapist just when I'm feeling particularly trusting and vulnerable. I guess it's too darn scary. It's less scary to keep some reserve.
*yup we get scared, protection sets in, we make fools of ourselves....yup T pretty much sucks all right.

> As for her not knowing much about parts, I'm not sure that's altogether a bad thing. My therapist had done some work with a clinic that specialized in it long ago, yet he managed to come to me with no preconceptions at all, and we figured out things together. I think that *can* be a good thing, even if it is frustrating. Because they don't have any preconceived idea about what's going on, so can really listen and understand you as an individual. If they have a good understanding of therapy principles in general and are open-minded enough to want to learn together.**yeah, I agree, its been important to me that nothing is 'put' into my head. That is one thing she is REALLY good at, she is VERY careful not to put words in my mouth, and I like that, I think its very important.
> Or at least that's my take on it.*ya Dinah, you pretty much bang on. My t is good, but she alos human, and sometimes that scares me. Lotsa times I scare myownself.
Funny.....I said on chat last night how I don't feel fear....
Hmmmmm.
Guess I don't fear physical attack from external sources...but other stuff scares me I guess.
LOL, I also thot I wasn't mad at T, but in my post I said 2-3 TIMES that kid was pissed at T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go figger.
Sigh.
Thanks Dinah, hope you hangin in there OK.
