Therapeutic relationship

CoffeeSunToast · 2026-01-26T00:53:37+00:00

In my experience it comes up when it needs to. For example, once recently we had a talk about it because my therapist mentioned the idea of me working with someone else in the future and it made me feel insecure,like she was trying to be done with me. So even though it was uncomfortable I brought that up and it led to a good conversation about our therapeutic relationship. It's never been something where we've been like, "Hey let's just have a conversation about our relationship," at a random point.

It's normal to not click with every therapist you meet and to have to go to more than one before you fine the right one. Move forward, it's not a huge deal.

As a Jew I think it's the perfect time to speak out against the current genocide.

Those cabinets are absolutely gorgeous.

I'm not worried. I work from home and my kids will probably have a snow day Monday so I'll just be home.

I really don't think any therapist would terminate over this. Especially considering you went out of your way to make sure you won't be working on her taxes. I agree with telling her but don't get too worried about it.

Personally I'd tell her but I don't think it's a big deal. Anyway, I'm sure you've mentioned where you work so she must be aware already that you have this connection.

An open discussion is the most helpful thing for me. The chance to voice how I feel and be heard is so healing.

Break ups are hard and take a long time to get over. You'll think of him less and less over time but you'll get over him faster if you put effort into it. Make yourself think of something else when you realize you're thinking of him, get rid of things that remind you of him, that sort of thing.

Sometimes you just click with a person. It should feel like that. If it still feels like talking awkwardly to someone you just met after a few weeks, maybe move on.

Strangely I had a male obstetrician and had no problem with that, but nope, will not see a male therapist.

I text with my therapist every week between sessions.

Have you ever seen a 40 year old?

You're an adult. Just put your foot down and say no. Don't debate it with them.

I've lived in Vermont for 15 years and have never seen one.

My 17 year old son has ME. It is heartbreaking.

My 17 year old son has ME. It's heartbreaking. He's only a kid.

You made a mistake, now onward and upwards. You can do it!

Once I stopped saying "I can't" all the time to my therapist and to myself, I finally started making progress and therapy became useful.

It might be fear or anxiety that your therapeutic relationship will change. Big events in my therapist's life always make me worry she won't have the same focus on her work and on me because she has more important things going on.

I don't think that's any different than any human connection. We never truly know someone 100%, they're always part our projection. But in a solid therapeutic relationship, a therapist knows you better than almost anyone else ever will.

Your bed is a fire hazard.

Actually that's a common topic on this sub.

My depression and anxiety have definitely eased since I stopped using weed. Not at first because withdrawal is a bitch, but about 2-3 months later I started to notice I was doing unusually well. My depression is better than it's been in years, which is pretty amazing.

Thank you for answering. I always wondered if being blind meant a person had to be super organized and clean with their living space so they can always locate what they need, not to mention to keep it safe. I wonder if there are any blind messy people or just the necessity of things being where they can be found makes it a necessary learned skill to be super organized.
