[QUOTE="klmno, post: 257716, member: 3699"] Ok- in reality, I have several big problems, but then there is this little one, too. I can't look my therapist in the eye. But it isn't because I don't trust her or that I have a problem looking people in the eye or that I'm lieing. But she either wears contacts and has problems with them or her eyes twitch or she's falling asleep. LOL!! I don't know, but I don't know what to do about it. I've seen her several times now but the comfort level isn't all the way there yet. We've spent a lot of time talking about difficult child and his legal stuff, so we are still getting to know each other. She starts out asking a couple of times what has been going on the past week and how it's going. When I start telling her, I have to look away or she twitches her eyes and interrupts. Then, she'll prompt me to go on after I start again. Then at the end of the session, she says something about not getting to any other issues. I'm finding this a bit frustrating. The therapist I had a long time ago, to get to big issues, had personal experience herself along those lines and I KNEW she understood what I was talking about pretty early on. Not because I knew her history, but because she made it obvious by things she said that she really got it. I know I can't expect that from every therapist, and this one only takes appts in the mornings and early afternoons so I can't keep her long term anyway. So, what do I do? [/QUOTE]
