My current therapist says this all the time, "sounds like you're doing okay" or "a lot to cope in your present situation". But I don't really feel like I'm doing okay. Sure I do a lot to cope: stay busy with activities, practice the mindfulness that I learned, and a few other things I learned in DBT, but I'm still dwelling over obsessive thoughts and still feel depressed or anxious a lot.
She's not very pro-active (honestly, not very many of my T's have been) and most of the time after our visits, our talks leave me more anxious.
We also debated on whether I have "pure O" obsessive disorder or just GAD. She insisted that "pure O" OCD is not a diagnosis and you cannot have the obsessive thoughts without the physical compulsive behaviors, but I've done a lot of research and found that people can have obsessive thoughts without the behaviors. Or more likely, they have mental rituals instead of the physical. Right?
Good thing is that she's transferring to a new business soon. I have the choice of transferring with her or having another T. I'm thinking of going with another T.
Opinions?
