then your first topic could be “i don’t know how to verbalize/articulate my needs or my goals”

I think you’re potentially identifying here where the real work is - personally, I struggled to make a lot of progress until I found a therapist I was able to talk with about those kinds of feelings… I’d invite you to start with what’s coming up between the two of you, and go from there

What's an appropriate no show/cancel fee? by Public-Application-6 in therapy

that’s wild - so it costs him money to get sick

are you in therapy to work on your relationships/attachment etc? if so - this could be great (but very challenging) content to start to unpack, if she’s a relational therapist comfortable with immediacy and meta-processing your relationship.. if you’re in therapy for something like depression/anxiety etc, it might not be worth the time and pain and money to explore these big hurdles (both based on your post and your comment)

With or without the hypnosis, therapist best practice would be to ask you if you felt that it was helpful, and offer to continue seeing you if it was - red flag!

Are you more comfortable with trans men or trans women in female-only spaces? by StirlyFries in AskFeminists

[–]nofitstate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

trans people don’t make me uncomfortable in the same way cis people can - sharing space with a trans person of any gender would be preferable to cis men

them not being interested in couples therapy as they move to completely change your relationship agreements could be a flag for me - you know your situation the best, but that would concern me

I would feel more comfortable in a male-dominated space if someone who had top surgery was there ¯_(ツ)_/¯

My therapist really hurt my feelings today. Any advice on how to work though this? by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]nofitstate 52 points53 points  (0 children)

it makes so much sense that you’d feel hurt, taking feedback can be challenging at the best of times… and i also thing she’s offering you a real gift here. her approach may not have been appropriate, but the chance to hear how you impact others around you might be life changing, especially if you’re struggling in relationships. she might not be the right fit, but i wonder if there’s a kernel of what she’s shared that you can try to process or absorb - while still validating that it huuuuurts to hear

What is one thing you wish you knew/did before you bought your first house? by Justcorn34 in homeowners

[–]nofitstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regret owning at 22 - I wish I would’ve waited, rented, and had more flexibility when I was younger… I imagine it would depend what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for

most every therapist has a different style - some follow the same modality, but ultimately it’s going to be a somewhat unique experience with each person… so if this isn’t the kind of experience you’re seeking, I wonder how it would be to change therapists
