Hi Liese and Affinty, It went horrible and I am so pissed off. I brought a great article and read some of it to him. The article helped more than he did. He was useless. He only asked "So, how am I doing?" (in dealing with ET with me). I said okay, but did not even know how to answer that question. I was expecting him to guide me through this. It was hard enougth for me to even bring this subject up. He offered basically nothing. We spoke of a dream from last week that had a sexual undertone to it pertaining to him. I thought maybe he would be able to elaborate on it and erotic transference. I told him I don't even know how to articulate what I am feeling....HELP ME, YOU IDIOT!!!! There was a fair amount of silence and he said "I have a feeling there is something going on here"....well, what???? Because I have no clue. Then he just switched subjects to my intense feelings about him going on vacation across the world, with no contact for 19 days; which I have a very difficult time managing...always when he leaves me. I felt like he was getting pleasure out of my pain because he is the all-powerful therapist. Gee, thanks for bringing your trip up to make me feel even worse. This person is a highly-trained therapist and I feel like he just left me hanging with no direction. Sorry for the rant, but I HATE him right now and emailed him that I won't be at the next session because all of this is a waste of time and is pointless. I was so disappointed and hurt. I was brave enought to walk into this and got nothing from him. As I was leaving, he looked at the article and made a comment. I said "Do you want it?" He nodded and I gave it to him....maybe he will learn something!!! And, I just walked out the door......fuming!
