I was quite resistant to my therapist back in October - she had a tendency to talk in absolutes (eg: "If you do this again, I'll have you committed." etc.) which just didn't work for me. I felt ashamed, claustrophobic and as though my ability to make decisions for myself was being taken away from me - or as though I was systematically surrendering myself to her and to other people. That just.... didn't work for me. I've also met therapists who prescribe medication/psychiatric consults after speaking to you for about ten minutes, which is also distressing and debilitating.

On the other hand, the lady I'm seeing now works for me - she lets me steer things, she speaks, she treats me like a human being, and that's... a good start?

EDIT: Just wanted to add this, because so many people seem to see therapy as self-indulgent, or attention-seeking... the whole point is that it's work. One looks at oneself and doesn't always like what one finds.. and sometimes, it's the difficult parts of us that are seeking expression. So I'm troubled by the idea that that therapy is self-indulgent and whatnot.

And I'm wondering, seriously, if the therapy is leading to physical nausea, then maybe you need to look at a different therapist? Maybe this person is just not working for you?
