Hi Dinah, The problem I am having with this T is that it is hard to take in what she is saying. I also, when I am able to take things in, feel humiliated by her interpretations. For example she pointed out today that it seems like my mom sees me as an extension of herself and is not aware that I am a different person. This is true but when she said it I felt insulted, angry and alone. I told her this and she said nothing. She almost seemed like she was half asleep. When I told her that she seemed sleepy she said she was. I said this relationship is not helpful and she said she thinks that this feeling of her not helpful is not really about her being sleep its about something else.
I left angry and called her and said I wanted to leave. She called back to say we should talk about it. I have worked with her for 6 months. This same kind of scenario has happened, no exaggeration, almost every single week. It is not getting better.
The MAOI is to try to address the depression I feel. Here is the kicker, I have never ever been as depressed as I am in this treatment and this T feels that is not a sign of this treatment being unhelpful. I really do not know what to do since if I leave, I will feel a loss and loss is hard for me. I feel really trapped.
