Therapy often gets worse before it gets better, so as long as you two can work that all out you're on the right track, It's very important to find a T you feel comfortable with and fit well with. However it does take time (I don't know how long you've been seeing your T) for that relatonship to build, don't give up yet!

Me? I usually try to distract myself by reading, listening to music, I write poetry, sometimes short stories. Or I take my pastels and draw something violent or draw my feelings, even if it's just a smudge of many different colors. Sometimes I sleep, take a bath, walk. Let myself cry and sit with my feelings, exploring them. Clean. I reach out to others that need support and focus on their problems so I don't have to focus on mine.
