Look, it's fine to express frustration. Anger! Rage! . .. .oh wait, we're talking about emotions! Aren't those the dang things you hate and want to squash? Sorry, I was using a bit of humor. Here is definitely the place to express those things . .. but it's even more important to express them in therapy. Something tells me that you don't talk about those things in therapy . . .other than to express distain about what your therapist expresses. .. but I could be wrong about that. Do you tell your therapist how frustrated you are with the process? How you don't understand how it can be helpful for you? How you're confused by the entire process?

AND i"m not talking about how you might express how disappointed you are with the process and how it wasn't what you expected. Those are different.
I wanted information and commiseration over trying a consult after becoming extremely frustrated again.
I constantly tell her how frustrated I am. I have spoken softly, loudly, raged, joked, and told her about my smashed body parts. And I do admit I have all the negative emotions possible. I have not denied having them. I do not know what to say about them, but I have not denied having them.
