I have a cognitive behavioral therapist that I've been meeting with once a week for almost a year. I don't feel it's helping my depression at all, but I keep on doing it because it at least gives me a chance to talk about my depression, activities, thoughts and feelings. He wants me to challenge my irrational thoughts, but I have great trouble doing that. I think he's probably frustrated with me as a long-standing patient who's not improving whatsoever. If I were him, I'd terminate the therapeutic relationship since I'm not even really trying to identify, muchless challenge, my negative thoughts. They're just too powerful and the exercise too difficult for me right now.
