> I have been thinking about discussing it but it seems so strange to do. its as though im questioning my T's ability...actually i think i am.I suppose it could feel like questioning their ability. But if you two are a team, you need input from both players, right?
> are you a therapist? Im asking b/c I was wondering from the therapist perspective, how they would react to a situation which makes them uneasy, because of lack of experience, too new or some other reason. maybe that is too individual?? Or has anyone ever experienced this?
I'm a trainee. I'm almost finished with my degree. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking above. I think anytime a client brings up something that I've never dealt with before, I make sure to discuss it with my supervisor. I also may look at the literature to get more knowledge about it. I suppose if something came up that I just wasn't comfortable working with or competent to treat, I would refer them to someone who was.
It sounds like you might be nervous about something you want to tell your T. Are you worried that it will hurt your relationship or that your T will react negatively?
Take care,
