I agree with tigergrrl. They may be Ts with limited experience who have had success in the past with depressed clients when they urged them to socialize more. With my first T, who I saw for depression, it was so useful when she stopped suggesting things to me that she thought would help because of books she read or other clients she treated and instead asked me what I could do to feel better. She didn't know what I needed and once she asked, I really appreciated that. (It had never occurred to me to identify what would help me until she asked. ) To start with, I identified one thing that would help me feel better and we worked on that steadily. Best work we did.

KazzaX, can you tell your T your impressions of her reaction to you when you say you don't want to socialize? Can you tell her you need something different? Can you tell her that her reaction makes you want to quit therapy? If you are to have success with this T, I think it''s important that she knows these things.
