> It is hard to give you any sort of an answer as it is different for different people--how long to know if there is progress. One just knows.
"One just knows"? Interesting. So you don't know whether it started working in 3 months or in 3 years? Or whatever your therapy has lasted?
> Your post does not seem to say much about what specifically you said and felt was not addressed.
My post doesn't say ANYTHING about what I felt was not addressed. And that is because that's not the topic of discussion of this thread, so I'm not going into details on that. I only mentioned that to give a small detail on how/why I feel there hasn't been any progress in my therapy.
>What I get from this post is similar to your last post, and that is that you just don't like your therapist.
If that's what you think, you're totally missing the point. I don't think I mentioned that I disliked my T in this thread, and I'm surprised you get THAT, when the topic here is the time it takes to see progress in therapy in general, and it invites other posters to share their experience.
>So, I am wondering what is it you really want to do??
Uh.. I think I want to get responses from people about their experience in therapy? Isn't that obvious? Just read the title of the OP. I think my OP is clear enough. I'm surprised *you* don't get it.
>If you don't want to work with this person, then how come you stay with her? And, if you want to work with her, then she is the one you should be asking these questions of.
Why do you insist on talking about the other thread? If you want to discuss that particular topic, please refer to the other thread, where those questions are already specifically addressed and answered. I am not discussing this issue here. You already gave me your (very short) answer above. You said: "one just knows".
Ok. Great. Thanks for responding.> I don't see how I or anyone can really answer your questions. People can offer support and suggestions, but no one can really tell you what to do, or at least they shouldn't. That is for you to decide in the end.
There you go again. I have no idea what you're talking about. I asked about individual experiences in therapy and how and when people can gauge their progress.
You're saying people cannot answer those questions? How can you speak for everyone in here if they haven't even posted yet? I don't think you should be speaking for others, but only for your own self. And I'm sure people can talk about their experience. And if their answer is like yours, "One just knows" Or "I don't know", then so be it. Any answer is valid, as long as it's addressing the question.
And in the strange event that you're referring to the OTHER thread (which you seem to be, over and over,).. people gave me TONS of feedback-so your claim that people can't offer feedback on those other questions is entirely wrong.
