Funny, CJ and I were away at my folk's camp for only two days and I felt the SAME thing you did when we got home tonight...HOME is pretty great! (See description of so-called "camp" before assuming we were roughing it! ).
By the sounds of it, I could vacation with you guys any time...reading, talking, eating, sleeping,...add a little vino and I am sooo there...CJ'd probably like it too
Now, about your C, Sage...I think you are very right to be wondering about the efficacy of this therapist/therapy.
Not to say she's bad...but there are a LOT of crappy ones out there. Sorry, it's true. MOST of the ones I've seen are NOT particularly goals oriented and knowing YOU, hon, you need someone who can maximize this goal-setting mindset of yours!!!
I especially don't like that she DISAGREED with you about your FEELINGS that the therapy wasn't helping you!!! Oh my GOD!!! That's not right!! It is entirely your right to shop a bit and FIND a therapist who is a better match for you.
I don't know, Sage, I don't like how she handled your concerns. Wouldn't it have been more professional to ask in detail why you felt that way? Offer to provide more structure and goal=setting to the sessions? Or at the very least admit that her style is not best suited to what you need and recommend a referral???
But this is the real world, she probably really likes you and who likes to lose a great student/patient/friend? ...Don't let that sidetrack you, though, you're PAYING for those services!!
