Reply to "Control in therapy"

(((ABOUT)))

I felt so sad reading about your experience in therapy when you were a child. It sounded abusive and just awful. I don't think it's wrong wanting to know how much time you have. I don't know that it's a good thing to be dependent on the therapist like that. It's not something that I like and I think it sounds pretty wonky that she wanted you to rely on her for the time. To me, it sounds like some kind of mind game or power trip. It's bizarre, IMO, and I think you should have control over certain things. And now that I know what I know about therapists and all their unresolved issues, I don't you should accept anything blindly. I'm so sorry that you even have to question your own judgment about this.
