Therapy Recap
03.12.08 (7:28 am)   [edit]

Session yesterday was a repeat of other sessions. "The mom" takes notes during the session and then starts off the next session with a litany of comments about what was said previously.

This time, it was that I had said there was an air of secrecy in the house and that things were not discussed.

She wanted to know in detail about that. And why I didn't ask questions.

My response... I knew that questions weren't answered and that things were not discussed. I didn't know what was going on but the atmosphere was pretty clear.

She wanted me to cite examples. I offered some. She denied they ever occurred. And at 9, it was my fault that I didn't bring them up with the therapist that I was forced to see (these things that never occurred).

The therapist loves to interject about her son and how perfect he is. (I'm really sick of hearing about him and the same fricking story at least twice in each session...)

I shared with the therapist about the rape case - just saying that I wasn't sure I could emotionally deal with that and counseling with my mother so that I might have to back off on the counseling. She wanted to schedule a therapy appt the day of the deposition and I told her I couldn't do it. I specifically told her that I didn't want ANY mention of the case brought up in front of my mother because she'd flip out. So last time, therapist asked me in front of the mother "How did the deposition go?"

I've committed to another appointment in a few weeks, but I think that's the last of my visits. I said that I measure things by forward progress - I don't see any progress of any sort. And I'm someone that totally values therapy but...

don't blame you one bit. sounds rather like beating a dead horse. ppl keep telling me, OH, you still love your daughter the junkie....

fuck them. and the horse they rode in on. No. I don't. and no amount of counseling or time will change that.

I put up with situations in which I have to be present in the same room with her. I am civil. I avoid those situations. It sounds like you are going to have to do the same. Sad, but true anyway.

I don't think this counselor is 'thinking' either ...
looks like you have to back out gracefully
knowing you gave it 'one more time' ...

((hugs))

The therapist sounds like a real piece of work.

Where did this therapist come from? Couldn't you get a different one. One that knows what he is doing?
