>tell thrapist im making an album, he says he's like to hear it >finish the album, give him a CD, he appens to be a musician too and says he will give me some of his music next time >two weeks later, he doesn't bring up the album until I ask about it. >he only listened to the first few minutes but says he's 'looking forward to hearing the rest' >two more weeks later >this time I don't ask him if he listened to the rest and he just doesn't mention the album at all so it was just an elephant in the room the whole time. >he never shared his music with me.
what should i listen too? have you ever experienced something similar? is my relationship to my therapist fucked now? I see him again monday. who will be the first to call this a blogpost disparagingly?
Brandon Butler
What kind of music do you make?
Thomas Rogers
the album i gave him was sort of a techno-punk-hip-hop fusion.
Kevin Lopez
I don't think he liked it.
Nathaniel Parker
yeah i think it's pretty clear he hated it and couldnt even listen to the whole thing. it was only a half hour
David Jenkins
As your therapist he can't shit on your creative output nor he can lie to your face, so you put him in quite a difficult position
Jeremiah Myers
that's kind of ridiculous. unless you are really immature there are ways to tell someone you don't like something without shitting on it.
Connor Thomas
You have to ask him for honest feedback. Prepare yourself for a negative response, but getting it out of him will relieve the pressure. Open a dialogue on the matter, he won't raise the matter first out of concern for exposing you to honesty he can't be sure you're prepared for.
James Brown
Just tell him you want to fuck already.
Blake Edwards
don't expect people to give you feedback because any negative stuff will bring you down. Just make music and share it and if it's good people will pay attention
