Is it really that bad to be concerned about one's health? I just want to make sure that I do the right things to remain in good health.
My therapist said to me:"I have noticed that you are so concerned about health,illness,etc.Is the reason why you are so concerned about health,illness,etc. is because YOU HAVEN'T LIVED YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST?" The moment she said this,I felt really uncomfortable.I felt really bad inside.I tried to figure out what she means by what she says.Is it so wrong to be concerned about one's health? I asked myself quietly:"Did I hear it right? Did she really said what she said? Did she really said(INSINUATED) that the reason why I am so concerned about my health is because I haven't lived my life to the fullest?"
The real reason why I am so concerned about my health is because I REALLY am concerned about my health.That's it. I want to make sure that I am doing the right things to preserve my health and not do those things that will make me sick or that will ruin my health.That's all there's to it.The trouble with my therapist is that she is actually happy that I was in a miserable situation-the emphasis of her statement was:
"BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T LIVED YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST?"And then there was this smirk on her face as she said this statement.During this particular session,I was feeling really bad after she said this.I tried to put my feelings aside and ignore them and pretend that I wasn't feeling what I was feeling but I guess she had noticed that I am starting to get angry and that I was trying hard not to show it.
It has become obvious to me by this time that my therapist celebrates at my misfortune.She was actually happy that I am miserable! I could see that she really gloats at my misfortunes-that she was actually happy that I was in a pathetic situation. After this particular episode,I finally decided to stop therapy with her because it has already become obvious that she doesn't have my best interests at heart.
