I'm bad with saying things the contradict something I will say later on. Like "I enjoy hanging out with friends" then later down the road.. "I don't enjoy socializing, I feel like an outcast aslkjdgaija"

Oh yeah this is one of those things that traps me all the time – I just hate it when people actually pick me up on these kinds of apparent contradictions and can’t help thinking – well they’re BOTH true, sometimes I feel like I can enjoy being with friends, other times the very thought of people terrifies me. I don’t see any contradiction in it but it does get annoying having it challengingly pointed out and putting me on the defensive (some Ts make a habit of being ‘challenging’ like this, nothing like stating the obvious as if it’s something client has never seen before
.)
Hey if you don’t feel seeing a T is right for you, or you’re just not ready, there’s no pressure. Being in therapy can be difficult so it helps if you actually WANT to be there in the first place otherwise it could get too fraught and send you running. Let us know what you decide?
