i’ve been seeing a therapist for 3 months.

i’ve learned absolutely nothing. 

and today my therapist asked me why i keep coming back?

on % and average, how much time does each one of you talk on the sessions?

before i tell you, tell me: is there a right answer?

i definitely feel that my psychologist could talk less. but i also trust that im in a process, so allow him to do that. but it feels like work in some sense. very intense work. so i don't think there is a right answer

but without the labelling of the answer, for me it would be: 33% me

that should be at least 50:50 IMHO

I’d say more like 70-80% you

If he’s talking 67% of the time I would find a new practitioner tbh

lmao man im going to translate this and bring it written on a paper. so true. such a tricky thing to find a therapist that actually helps you in the way you need it in a given moment

cc @marlo do you feel yours has been like that so far?

could be interesting to cut him off sometime and say, “look i don’t need all these concepts thrown at me. i want you to ask me good questions that help me explore my own self more deeply and access my own deepest wisdom and the love deep in my own heart, for this is what brings wholeness” and see what he says

that's what i feel also. and 90% of the time of the time he speaks he is just filling the space with concepts that have been learned through a lifetime of devoting his life to be a "good psychologist". but it gets tiring. but i also say: what if this is what i need at this point?

debating on it every week tho. its an interesting process
