Hi everyone
Need some advice pls.
It's almost 5 yrs of seeing my regular therapist. We have built a fantastic rapport as client/therapist.
Over the weekend I wrote a 2 page letter reflecting back at the past five years. I thought it was an honest open letter to him. I emailed it to my therapist yesterday.
I received a reply this morning and all he said was "let's talk about it at next session"!!!!!

What!!! After everything I put into this letter straight from my heart - and that's the reply I get!!

I just wished he could have at least said thank you for your kind letter. No nothing
It's been on my mind tonight and I so want to write back and tell him how annoyed and upset and hurt I am about his reply.

What do you all think ?

@BlueBay, don't take it personally, its what they call professional boundaries. My therapist last year just ignored me. When i asked at next session why he said he only does FACE-TO-FACE interactions. Read your letter poem at next session. Its a good thing not to get too close as they always move on.
Stay strong 💜

How did it go with the the therapist? the post was a while ago so me adding my opinion probably wouldn't have any bearing
