In reply to What does my therapist think of me., posted by Dinah on September 10, 2009, at 9:11:22
I think it's a fair question to ask and a fair question for your therapist not to answer. I have asked a similar question - over and over in different ways from different angles. Sometimes my t will answer in a very diluted form, and often she will say "you know how I feel about you," ... to which I reply, "remind me again." And then other times she will say, "I have told you what I think about you and I would tell you again, but you don't want to believe it's true. It's too scary for you to believe that someone doesn't see you in the way in which you see yourself."
So what I guess I'm saying, it's always a worthwhile question that leads me down different paths depending upon what else is going on in my therapy.
It's okay to want to know. I have asked her, "I want to know what you would tell your husband about me." That question, she doesn't answer.
