Hello! First of all, I'm sorry you got such useless answers to your question. Now, I'll answer it to the best of my knowledge. In my experience, it depends on what kind of therapy you're trying. When I had a CBT (cognitive behavioral) therapist it was common to express mutual feelings and interact outside of the office. On the other hand, when I tried psychoanalysis (and it's essential that you do) it was much more tense and distant; although you do end up developing a relationship with the psychoanalyst it's strictly within the confined space and time you spend with them in your sessions. Why don't you ask her about her line of therapy? Actually, I'm curious to know.
Yeah I might ask her that, I know right there is some silly people who comment complete crap lol. I know that she’s working under ACC so she’s getting paid by someone else to help with my trauma and I don’t think I’ll change cause she’s the first person I’ve actually been able to talk to.
Well, that's a good reason to stick with her for a few more sessions. From what you said she seems caring and empathetic. I don't know what ACC is but I believe whomever is paying her has no bearing on the work she'll do with you. I've had first consultations with therapists who I didn't like and didn't connect with at all and who made me feel uncomfortable, so I went on to find another. I hope you do get the help you need. And if you do find out her line of therapy please let me know! :)
Is my therapist crossing boundaries?
