I have mixed feeling towards my t. I am going to stick with her until my insurance runs out in may, then find someone cheaper. I will miss her because I have learned so much about myself with her. I can't imagine finding someone as helpful to me as her.
On the other hand she has a condescending tone when she talks. But when she talks she is also helping me. I honestly don't think she would get it if I told her that she is being this way. I think it's just the way she is.
The way my dad talks about her (he doesn't like her), it makes me not want to see her as much. Even though I think therapy is beneficial. I think it has something to do with my underlying feelings about the way she acts condescending.
I don't know what I'm going to do this week. I hate having my parents in control, but if I were in control, I might just not go anyway cuz I wouldn't have the money.
Sometimes I feel like therapy is a cult. Because I think, "I can't go on until I go to therapy." or "Nothing will be alright unless I go to therapy." And the truth of the matter is, I can wait. Maybe if I find a therapist who is as good as her, who I actually click with (unlike her), I will actually want to go and not feel bad. But right now, going to therapy makes me feel bad (because of the cost, because of how it makes my parents feel). So I'm not going to go. I think the bottom line comes to, I like my parents more than I like her.
Thank you Dinah for post. That hit a few points with me and I agree with what you said. I think it would help my self esteem if I could defend why I go to therapy to my dad.
