This is a common feeling we patients have. You can bring it up to him/her next time: "I feel like I'd better make quick progress or you'll lose patience." This is exactly what they want to hear. It tells them a lot about the environment we grew up in.



--- Quote from: Spirit ---if there is a choice is it better to go for the same sex therapist ? Or is it better to go for a therapist of the sex as that of the neglecting parent ? Last time it was a female therapist and my mother is some one who was virtually not present at any time for me and perhaps that might have had its say ? either way both my parents are faulty for me, so I am still not sure If I should insist on a male therapist

I don't think it matters as long as the therapist is good. Competence is more important than gender in my opinion.
