This sounds so frustrating! I think a good relationship with a therapist- one that doesn't change, and does not ever cause pain, is essential for us to feel safe, respected, cared for and able to deall with the things which are important to us. If we have to worry about the relationship itself so much of the time, there isn't too much time left to deal with the issues we would like to- and, really, only we, as patients or clients, really know what those are.
This sounds hard, because when he's really with you, things go well. But there do sound like a lot of difficult, painful times. I guess I have to ask: would another therapist be better for you?
