What did my therapist mean when she said I had a cavalier attitude and was unwilling to change? Vol. 554, June 25, 2020
I loved this question from a Quoran because there are many ways that one could interpret the answer. Some of the other folks who answered were quite smug in telling the questioner that the person knew exactly what the therapist’s meant. However, that is not necessarily the case. This is how I answered that question:
I imagine that your therapist has come to believe that you are a bit egotistical and fighting to stay stuck in the same situation that brought you to her practice. So, that being said, the only one who can assess if this is true or not, is you.
Go deep inside yourself and ask yourself if you are fighting to stay the way you are, or if there is a disconnect between you and your therapist. If so, change therapists. You have hired her so you can change any time you choose to. Having a good fit with a therapist is a difficult thing to find – so it may take you a couple of tries to find the right person.
That being said, my clients come to me because I kick them in the proverbial ass, by letting them know that they are talking out of both sides of their mouths, or maybe not being honest with themselves. Its called holding them accountable because they are unable to do it for themselves. It isn’t true of all my clients, but it is true of those who have dealt with some form of self-manipulation and therefore manipulation of others which they have finally recognized is of no help to their having healthy relationships with those in their lives.
Good luck with the self-inquiry and thanks for the A2A because many others wouldn’t have had the guts to even ask the question.
