I experience this alot. I once asked my therapist at that time if I was her only client this happened to and how to stop it.

she smiled and said "you ever hear that saying - no pain no gain? Therapy is like that. A person enters therapy with a problem and alot of times the reasons for the problem are mentally burried so that the person does not feel or think about the reasons and causes and so on. then the person enters therapy and the therapist job is to - wake up and shake up those burried feelings, thoughts, reasons and causes for the problems and in doing so the person once again feels those feelings that they have numbed themselves too. after being numb so long the feelings sometimes feel mountain sized. Theres no way to stop it from happening short of not being in therapy anymore and going back to stuffing feelings and numbing."

Then she told me I had a choice to make - stay in therapy and let myself feel what I had stuffed and numbed myself away from or stop therapy and continue to have depression, DID, Suicidal behaviours, self injury behaviours and so on.

By remaining in therapy I have the chance to be pain free without numbing and stuffing.

By dropping therapy I have a lifetime of pain and more situations that lead to my child entering fostercare because I was not taking care of my problems.

I chose to stay in therap and some days I have good days and some days I have bad days, where 5 -6 years ago when I first started therapy the days were all bad.

It does get better and one thing that helps me is that I try to find at least one thing going right that day - it might be no bills in my mailbox or I got a long bath without getting interupted by the doorbell or the phone but hey thats something going right for me when the rest of the day is the pits.

Hang in there
