I was thinking about my therapist. I have concerns about the therapy style, and maybe I should ask these questions to Gemini or to someone in a friend group, maybe a therapist. I don’t know.
I need to bring up my concerns about the style. In a previous session, my therapist, especially later on, was very focused on exploring things together and asking follow-up questions. They made me search for why I felt a certain way and what was at the bottom of these healing emotions. After each session, I felt like I found things.
The current therapy style is very shallow. I start explaining an issue for about 10 minutes, and the therapist stops me, interjecting and sharing her own opinion about the topic, correcting me if my thoughts don’t align with hers, or sharing some episode that relates to it. Then, I listen to her, and I think, “Okay, this isn’t therapy; it’s a conversation. Let’s listen.” After the conversation, I guess I lose track of things. It’s like, “Oh, we finished talking about this topic now.” So, I feel like something in that interaction blocks me from exploring the topic. I think there are still things to explore.
Therapy, especially last year, was great; very deep times. Although, after a few sessions, it felt a little repetitive, maybe like it was dialectical. We find X issue, and then we have the minus X. Sometimes therapists help me reach a conclusion, or sometimes they ask the questions for me to arrive at the conclusion. At some point, you’re cycling back to the same threads. Whenever it became cyclical, the therapist would notice it. I lose interest in the conversation. I’m not sure what it is.
Yeah, with the cramps still… There are benefits to having conversations, but there’s too much interruption and too much of her own stories. I talked about that. If that’s not something she can fix, I think I need to find a different therapist. I think the other therapist I had before—the guy in Silver Lake, the first one in 2020 or 2021—was better. That vision circle therapist, at some point, said they were going on vacation for a couple of months, so I had to continue something like that. The second vision circle was in 2024 or late 2025 and was very expensive. I can’t remember; I should look at my history. Maybe I should make a Google section for therapists.
