Thank you to everyone who wrote about their experience with their therapist. Your words helped me tonight - as I decided this week not to go back to mine. I was/am thinking that the therapist is just putting up with me to "make the big bucks" and that he doesn't really care to help or is incapable of helping me because I am hopeless... maybe only I can help myself. I also feel EXTREMELY frustrated by the way that therapy sessions are scheduled and only last an hour. I can't just schedule to get emotionally involved at a certain date and time. Most of the time I try to pretend everything is okay and then I show up at therapy - knowing that right now, this minute, I must stop pretending and I must be open with my feelings. I can't do it. It takes me 45 minutes to feel like being honest - at which point there is 10 minutes left and then I am cut off. No more talking now. Go back to pretending for a week.
