Thanks. It's generally not a conflict if I just say that I am ok when she asks how I've been. It's just difficult to believe I'm getting anything valuable out of therapy when I can't be totally honest with her without feeling completely dismissed. Although I love that she is getting me through an issue that has been long standing but after that I might switch therapists. My only conflict with her is that I don't feel I can be completely honest with her about how I've been feeling during the time between appointments. I want her help with this bipolar stuff but that's not going to happen it she so dismissive of my episodes and the dx. Oh well, I guess I just need to let it go and move on with what we are doing.
