In reply to Is it me or is my T not interested?, posted by Page2 on July 20, 2006, at 23:36:15
Hi Page,
I can see why you'd be upset. Therapy should be about YOU and not your T's professional accomplishments and interests. A certain amount of such discussion is appropriate at the beginning, or perhaps if you're starting to do something new in therapy that needs to be explained. But after a year you presumably don't need to be persuaded of the T's credentials.
But it's not about you... your T just seems rather self-absorbed. So don't feel like you are boring, and try to redirect discussion when one of the tangents begins. If you find that too hard to do perhaps a note explaining your feelings will work. Good luck!
