She told me that it's not important to go back through that stuff and that I should just shut the book on it and start again from here. She said "some people just aren't strong enough to do that work."

It was just really discouraging and while I trust my T far, far more than I will ever trust this PNP, it does kind of shake my faith in the process to have a mental health professional tell me to basically get over it, and that I'm not strong enough to do it.
What she said makes me feel angry. Who is she to try to limit you and your experiences and your goals?!

But you don't have to accept a word of what she said. Because what she says is really about her. It's about her perceptions and beliefs.
You have your own perceptions and beliefs that you go by.
She is she and you are you.
Thank goodness!

Please remember that there are all kinds of people in the world, including the professional world. Being a professional doesn't mean having all of the answers or having the answers for every person.

You be you
