In reply to T says he's sorry. That's all :(, posted by kerria on September 17, 2005, at 0:55:51
Hi Kerria,
Maybe your T is saying to identify with someone you have to have full understanding of what they're experiencing, and you have to share a their way of being. maybe he's saying he can't share your experience, he can only understand it from a clinical perspective, because he doesn't have PTSD or DID, and he will never fully understand. he will never walk in your shoes. So he can hear you, he can be with you in your pain, but he can't share what you experience.
i'm sorry you're not getting what you need from him, i hope you'll look for a new T, one who will offer more empathy and understanding.
