It's frustrating when I do things that are supposed to help and they don't. I don't understand how feeling empty and hearing voices is victim sh-- but it probably doesn't matter anyway right? I guess there's just something I don't understand. You are able to prescribe me something to make the voices go away like you did before and it worked well but now you choose not to. I don't get it.
This was a really good response Cats! Great standing up for yourself!!!!!

This ^ is really good too. It is good to know what we need. Now how did her response to you address these needs?

IMO, she didn't validate you and I think what she said would make you want to hate yourself.

IMO good therapy is the therapist coming to where the client is at no matter where that is and from there the therapist needs to help the client move forward from where they are at. IMO, what she is doing is standing far away from you and yelling at you to come over. Well, if you knew how to move forward in your life, why the heck would you need her?
