Treatment Process

§ Practitioner tells me his/her problems so that I can offer help or advice.

§ Practitioner talks a lot about him/herself and I don’t understand the relevance of what she/he is sharing for my treatment.

§ Practitioner seems to free associate to what I say and spin off into his/her own thinking. I feel like my issues aren’t being addressed.

§ Practitioner always acts like he/she knows what’s best for me without asking me.

§ Practitioner is cold, distant, rigid.

§ Practitioner gets very angry, sometimes yells at me.

§ Practitioner interprets everything that happens between us as transference, even when I’m sure he/she has had a clear effect on how I feel.

§ Since starting treatment, I’ve felt worse rather than better, and the practitioner doesn’t seem concerned that this is happening or explain why it might be happening.

§ After starting treatment, my life began to fall apart. Rather than being concerned about the quality of my life or my state of mind, the practitioner seems more interested that I stay dependent upon him/her.

§ Since starting treatment, I’ve felt suicidal for the first time in my life; the practitioner doesn’t seem concerned.

§ Practitioner is hostile, sadistic.

§ Practitioner seems to enjoy my pain.

§ Practitioner fails to take my suicidal feelings seriously.

§ Practitioner suggested, either directly or indirectly, that I kill myself (e.g. that I would be better off dead; that s/he dreamt that I was dead; that suicide might be a reasonable alternative for me, etc.).

§ Practitioner insults parts of myself over which I have little or no control such as my physical characteristics and abilities, weight, race, gender, age, sexual orientation, hospitalization history, etc.

§ Practitioner insults other aspects of my life. She/he seems more interested in tearing me down than in building me up.

§ Practitioner threatens that if I don’t do what he/she says, I’ll never get better. Sometimes that feels right, sometimes it doesn’t.
