I don't feel a bond. It's almost like I dislike him. I have heard the opinion that sometimes these therapists who are unpleasant are purposely doing it to get you to deal with the issues (esp freudian psychoanalysis: this one is not) so I am debating whether I should stay with him or not.

I don't really have a support system. My primary doc is the surgeon: she is very quick, will try to help but definitely not listen. I am getting financial support from that hospital and they feel I should get help with emotional issues outside the hospital (they have a therapist but I think they are only providing very short term help during actual Tx).

I became pretty scared 2 years ago when I was diagnosed and became much worse physically/emotionally during radiation treatment.
I had some depression before but nothing like this and no constant anxiety.

[quote=suzanne98]If you don't feel a bond with your therapist you should find another one. I went to one and we didn't click. Then I found the therapist I currently go to. I know it is time consuming and can be daunting but you will be happy you did it. You may have mentioned this, how long have you been feeling this way?

Do you have a support system? You are right, the docs don't seem to care what happens after treatment. I have found my primary doc to be a huge help. She sits and listens to me and helps me work through it all. [/quote]
