When a former therapist wants to return to therapy but not the depth of therapy that was being conducted before the interruption, it could mean a few different things:
Physical Limitations: Since you mentioned that the therapist injured her leg, it's possible that her physical condition might limit her ability to engage in certain therapeutic approaches that require more physical activity or mobility. She might prefer to focus on less physically demanding therapy styles.
Personal Boundaries: The interruption due to the therapist's injury could have impacted her emotionally or professionally. She might want to set clearer boundaries or reduce the intensity of therapy to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
Therapeutic Approach: Therapists often have different therapeutic approaches and styles. The interruption might have provided the therapist with time for reflection, and she might now feel that a different approach would be more suitable for your current needs or her own comfort level.
Clinical Assessment: The therapist might have re-evaluated your progress and needs during the time off, leading her to believe that a less intensive approach is appropriate at this stage.
Communication Concerns: There might have been some miscommunication or misunderstandings between you and the therapist during the therapy process. She might want to switch to a different therapeutic style to improve the communication and understanding between both of you.
It's important to have an open and honest conversation with the therapist about her decision and your concerns. Express your feelings and needs, and ask her to clarify her reasons for wanting to modify the therapy approach. Effective communication is crucial in maintaining a productive therapeutic relationship.
