[QUOTE="klmno, post: 439620, member: 3699"] Doesn't it just hoover when you and the therapist can't get on the same wavelength (so to speak)?? I'd try telling him what you feel you need, as far as the approach, and see if that helps. I wouldn't give it too long- maybe a couple of sessions after that, then find another one if it still seems like you're just not connecting or you're not finding it easy to open up and talk, or maybe he just doesn't get it. Don't feel bad about it, I've felt this way about most every therapist I've tried to open up to for a few years now. I seem to have no problem with "regular" MDs or even psychiatrists and they seems to understand everything I'm saying- not that I don't need a therapist, just that they seem to get the stress, etc. One thing I noticed, due to prefering evening hours and other factors that might influence which therapist I end up with, I/difficult child and I seemed to mostly get the most inexperienced. difficult child did end up with a good, experienced one for the last one while home (before being committed to Department of Juvenile Justice the first time), but by that point difficult child was just not opening up to any of them.
