RE: when to give up on T..?
Hi nats. I have felt the same way you have for sometime now actually. I have only been seeing my T for a few years though. almost 4 to be exact. First off I was wondering if you could clarify something for me.....when you say when is it ok to give up.......do you mean with your current therapist or in therapy in general? I think that depends totally on what you want and how you want to live your life.
What I have been learning recently is that Therapy is what I put into it (which hasn't been much lately) and it is hard work for me to do if that is what I want. I still haven't decided if it is what I want. So I am coasting.

Maybe you need to decide what it is you want also. And maybe it didn't work in the beginning because you weren't ready and didn't have a trusting relationship with your T built yet. There are alot of maybes here but that is because I don't know much of your history or your journey.
Your T might not be the one to do the kind of work you need to do.

I think it is ok to give up on T but not on yourself. I believe you can heal......maybe not by doing therapy but by doing something else. I think we all need to strive for something better....that is what dreams and hopes are made from!

So I guess I don't really have an answer for you but I will sit here with you while you try to figure it out and listen.
