I want to like my therapist but I really don’t, I’ve never had therapy like this one before, shes makes me do homework and learn coping methods which are totally off the rails in my mind, she says no emotion is bad and instead of trying to distract yourself or take your mind off of how you feel, just sit with it and wallow in it and acknowledge it basically and doing that makes me feel worse, I don’t know what type of person would enjoy feeling depressed, anxious enough to sit with those feelings unnecessarily so that you can say you didn’t escape those feelings.
She says I need to do these Exercises in order to cope with my emotions and that it’s necessary for treatment. I’m thinking of ditch therapy or this therapist for a different one because the sessions leave me feeling worse. I’ve got the report I need out of said therapist she did a good job of my report but she’s like “this is my way” is not willing to listen to my input about how it’s not helping or working for me.
