I am completely lost again and this time t was flustered. She was telling me to change my thoughts and to try be happy but she didnt understand why I am feeling what I am feeling and that I am not trying to be unhappy I just am unhappy.
I get the feeling that t thinks she is a failure because i haveregressed so much in the last feww weeks.
I wish t hadnt told me all of this today and on top of it all, her phone rang twice and the next client came early whic has never happened before  |
I think that how you feel is how you feel, and that you have to accept this before you can change it. Why do you think that t thinks she is a failure? If you graph healing, it isn't always an uphill slope, it goes up and down, and that is normal. I think that you are putting too much pressure on yourself to make progress as you see it, and maybe accepting that progress can mean returning to old issues again and again, and that this is a part of the process of healing
T told you why you are so heartbroken and can't get over your x? Was she putting it in the perspective of your past? Just wondering, only answer if you want to do so.
Sorry about the phone calls and the next patient, it sounds like a stressful session. When do you see her again.
BTW, I have not figured out how to deal with my stuff on a day to day basis, it can feel like torture. Keep posting. Sending you tons of hugs!
