You have to find someone you can communicate, for sure. I've only trusted one person in my life and it wasn't a therapist. However, I just think of therapy as a medical treatment. If I was stabbed, then I wouldn't be shy about taking my shirt off to show the doctor. You know what I'm saying? I haven't liked all the therapists I've met nor have I trusted any of them, but for me that's ancillary. He didn't show up to work and I didn't pay him to be friends. Just my opinion. Of course, you need to find someone that you will be able to talk to.

Ok so this has turned into a self fullfilling prophecy. My T brought up the idea of using another technique, i.e. group therapy or seeing another T, as well as touching base every now and again. I can't seem to open up, but I don't think its the indivdual, I think its me, it would make no difference how well I got on with them etc I just can't seem to do it. But I know I need this in order to have an healthy future and not drop out of things altogether. Obviously the assumption is that the patient T relationship is what seems to be wrong, but I just can't do it. Any suggestions?
