In the beginning of my therapy I felt the same. No big change. But as we worked on understanding our system therapy became difficult. No so much while in the therapy session but after, when I got home. I would sometimes feel exhausted, depressed, in foul mood, I often had more anxiety than before the session. It was horrible. But we stuck with it even when some of us wanted to stop. What I understand now is that as we learn more about each other and what we do it causes a lot of stuffed emotions to bubble up. These emotions are fear, anger, sadness etc. And it is these feelings that cause me to feel exhausted and miserable. But these are also feelings may of us weren't aware of. What I am feeling now is relief. So if I cry about session and the emotional pain I felt, I often feel relief from the emotional pain. Like a weight lifted off of me. 6 months is still in the beginning of therapy and I think what you are going through will be come better if you just stick with it. I wish good feelings.
Thanks for this!
