Actually daisy, your post didnt upset or bother me at all. I know you're right. It seems like every time I try to talk to her about something that isnt working though, she either makes absolutely no change or it only works for a week, maybe 2, and things go back to normal. That pattern is what led me to call and ask if she felt manipulated (and possibly, if that is why she never responds to these things).
I've also been very specific about feeling like I'm not being heard. It doesnt seem to matter. She always acts like she completely gets it in the moment, and for awhile I believed it and felt relieved, but I've learned that it only lasts as long as I'm in the room. By the next session, it doesnt seem to matter what I said. It's possible I'm not being clear enough, but I dont know how to be any clearer.
I wont see her again for several weeks. I'm out of town staying with my parents for another 5-6 weeks, so I'm seeing an old T here in town while I'm here. I posted a thread about her below.
I just dont know. It feels like I'm doing something wrong, but I dont know what it could be. I'm thinking of writing her a letter and telling her how I feel, but I dont know. Thanks for your suggestions.
