Does your T ever seem to downplay what you say, or write off something that you think is an issue?
I am trying to get my social anxiety across to my T, and sometimes I feel like what I say is kind of brushed over. For example, I was talking about how I'm not sure who I am and how I feel like I don't have enough opinions on things. My T said that I must have opinions about some things. That's true, but I felt like she missed the point. She regularly seems to say something like "is it really _______, or is it just that _______?" It makes me feel like I really can't trust my own perception on things. I think she believes what I'm saying, but she does try to normalize things a lot. I'm afraid that we have different ideas about what my goals should be.
Has anyone else had a similar experience with their T?
