I think we've all been there, haven't we? Who hasn't been told by this (or variations on it) by their Dr or T? It's such a frustrating thing to hear, because going for a walk or sitting cross legged and chanting 'omm' seem to be among THE most futile and pointless things ever, insulting, when you're deep in a depression and want answers and real solutions... having said that, there are real and valid reasons they suggest these things..

But, I get it. You're trying. And you think your T doesn't believe just how hard.

However, I don't think your T meant to upset or offend you. I think on both counts it was perhaps a case of clumsy wording/ miscommunication/ misunderstanding. What she said is open to interpretation... Only you know what your relationship with your T is like, how much you believe you 'click' or not, but it seems a shame to close the door on 14 months worth of work together based on what could, from an outside perspective, be chalked up to being an off day.

Be prepared that you may have to be the one to contact her, as galling as that may feel, because I think some Ts follow rules or policies that prevent their chasing you down and dragging you back to therapy
Thanks for this!
