Hi, I posted before but am still really fed up with the NHS therapist i'm seeing, I really appreciate how lucky i am to be getting any help and how over stretched NHS mental health services are, but I've tried talking to my therapist about her 'style' and it's like we just disagree....some days I do okay, but then I'll have a week where I self harm and I could really do with a decent therapy experience and not a battle of wills....
It's like she wants me to do ALL the work, and ALL the figuring out myself and while I get that she can't TELL me what to do I have never ever been to such a passive disinterested therapist. I really don't think she'd give a crap if I threw myself under a bus, she's that removed.
I don't want her to be a hippy earth mother, but she never has any constructive observations, always so predictable and like something out of a psychology text book.
I just don't know what to do, if I quit I wont get any help at all.
If I carry on, am I taking the place of someone who would get on with her and appreciate it better.....?
I feel so isolated when I get down....I want a bit of constructive observation not passive silence and i've given up trying to get her to compromise....:weep:
