(((BROKEN)))

I totally get how awful that would feel. It sucks that he couldn't express some caring during a difficult time. I *get* it. I get why he didn't do that BUT I know how much it hurts NOT to get a more *human* response. There are many things about therapy that I have a difficult time with even as it has helped me. I am not sure that's just a CBT thing. The relationship isnt' supposed to be about his needs. You consulted with him and you should feel free to come and go as you please. I think that's the theory anyway. It would be nice to know that he cares and is human.

If you feel judged and not cared for, you might want to look around for a better match - as Jones said on Quell's thread. Think about how many different people you come across in the course of a normal day and how many you click with out of those. That the same rule applies to therapists. Just because they are T's doesn't mean we are going to have a chemistry with them.

Broken--
Judged you for wanting a second child?
Expressed nothing in regards to a death?

Yeah, I can see why that would hurt!

Liese, I really liked your comments. Therapy can break your heart just by its set-up.

Broken, did you feel a connection with him at all? I am guessing not, given the title, but sometimes there can be something there under such difficulties. If not, I agree with Liese that it might be good to look for a better match. Even if you do feel like there is a possibility for a good therapeutic relationship, if it is looking overly problematic right from the beginning you might want to cut your losses before an attachment really grows.

Thanks, guys.
Losses cut- I never called him back, and he never called me either. He obviously doesn`t even have any qualms about me just disappearing.

Glad I never told him abt my ED.
