>but I might call later if I'm really upset or I might bring it up the next session.
I'm considering calling her, but it seems like it would be unfulfilling to try to resolve it over the phone. Our next appt's on Monday night.
> And you might try asking a few questions about how she thinks therapy is going to help you and what plan she has for you. And look for concrete answers. And I hope, of course, that you are on a good medication regimen.I've asked about this many times, and generally gotten a mostly satifsying response. I am switching meds at the moment, which complicates things.
> I'm sorry if my previous post seemed insensitive to you or missed the point of your question. I do know how frustrating the therapeutic relationship can be. But I find it remarkably less frustrating when the mystery is taken out of it and I'm not guessing what he's thinking or trying to do.Not at all, I really did appreciate you sharing your perspective. I guess I was a little frustrated by your answer because I agree with you! So I felt I had already tried what you were suggesting. But you had no way to know that from my post. Anyway, thanks, and you're right about printing out the thread. I guess I'll have to see if I feel inclined to share anything with her in the next session, but I'll bring the printout.
Again, thanks for trying to reason with me while I'm in rant mode. It is helping me calm down a little.
