Wrong therapist?

I dunno, me and her dont connect, she lets the conversation go dead, like she’ll ask me something that I dont know how to answer, then we move on.I want someone who will go all out to get me to talk since I have such a hard time coming out. I feel like shes ripping me off, what now?

Answer #1

Try and find a new therapist. It’s quite possible that you and your current one don’t click.

Answer #2

I think you need a new therapist or need to talk more to your current one when the conversation goes dead, the 2 of you should be working out a way to answer the question she should come up with some related questions that explore the question a bit deeper and you can have a hard think, and open your mind a bit more to how you really feel and whats going on its not worth going if your not learning anything new about yourself or opening up much so if you cant do this with your current one, start seeking someone else!

Answer #3

A good therapist is able to spot avoidance, sometimes they will let it go if it seems to be distressing the person, and they’ll bring it up at a later time, or they’ll push for an answer if it needs to come out. In addition they usually deal with resistance and keep after the person… If that isnt happening with your therapist then you need to change therapists… If you dont know how to answer a question, she really should rephrase or explain it…
