In reply to so do I talk to my T, or let her wonder??, posted by shrinking violet on February 22, 2005, at 16:56:50
I can really relate with what you are saying. I am struggling with exactly the same thing lol. you sound like you have a very close relationship with your T and that is something I would try to hang on to. Im not sure what your relationship was like before this session but if it was strong...id keep it.
I have never had those terms brought up before but I hate all that pscho babble cr*p so I hear you!! I understand what you are saying about the realtionship and taking away from it by using those words BUT i bet she was trained to see her therapy realtionships in that way and trained to avoid connections that were too close with patients and explain the close ones away with Transerefence bla bla bla.
>I could *gulp* email her back and tell her the truth....tell her I'm not sure what happened last session or why these feelings got triggered and maybe it's best if I see her this week and try to air it out in some way since it'll drive me nuts sitting with it for yet another week -- Although then I'd have to then write to her and try to explain my feelings, and send it to her ahead of time....and what would I say? That it's all BS, all of it, that her telling me now of her boyfriend after knowing her for two years is throwing me into a tizzy, that I don't feel like I can open up to her as a T at all, that any little foundation we had as a client/T has been shattered....and that I'm not even sure why?
Umm I think emailling her is a great idea! I would just be honest with your feelings and explain that you are confused that you even have the feelings you have.
OR
>Maybe it would be easier on both of us to just glare at each other for the rest of the semester......
You could do that! But I vote for the former
Good luck with it, Ill be thinking about you
