That reminds me of my first therapist who I started seeing in May this year. She told me things such as "just stop caring what other people think of you", "just stop carrying out your compulsions", "just ignore that thought", "just think positive thoughts" etc. No matter what I said and no matter how many times I told her it's not that easy she repeated those sentences and told me to "just do" things. I left every session feeling angry and annoyed with the therapist and I dreaded every session. I didn't like her and I couldn't trust her so I quit after about four weeks. Even though quitting was scary it was the best decision in a while. Now I've got another therapist who's much better.

I'm not saying you should quit. I'm simply saying that not all therapists will be right for you so you might have to "shop around" a bit before finding someone you feel comfortable with. I'm still trying to figure out if I trust my new therapist (and that might take a while) but at least I don't want to smash things when I leave the sessions anymore.
