In reply to Rupture in therapy (long), posted by Wittgensteinz on October 28, 2008, at 20:09:25
I was just about to post another response but Stella said some of the same things I was going to say. You may have some great things with your T but I was still struck by his coldness and lack of empathy. I find it very hard to see how this can possibly be of benefit to the client, and quite to the contrary - aren't ALL healers completely foresworn to the "do no harm" dictum? I don't remember there being exclusions for things like personal style or office particulars.The other thing is that maybe it is not a bad thing for you to talk to other therapists and healers who have a warmer way about them. You don't have to irrevocably break the tie with your T, but maybe you really need something different, a higher level of support right now. My goodness, it was not so long ago that you felt enough despair to OD... I would think that comfort and empathy were certainly called for right now and in ample quantities! You sounded so wistful to me when you describe how startled you were at your pdoc's warmth that it actually made me feel sad for you. I think this may be telling you something very important, Witti.
