My T didn't believe what I told him either. I don't know why a t would think we go to see them to make stuff up. It's a big deal to seek therapy, It's money out of our pockets, it's TIME spent out of our lives to find help in some way. Many of us don't know how our past affected us, that is why we are looking for the t to connect the dots. We may see a little but surely many of us are missing some important facets that we can't see because we lived it! The whole point of therapy is being honest in a trusting environment. I mean unless I've committed a crime (which some may have) why in the world would a client be lying? I'm sorry your T did not believe you either. I can't imagine how terrible you must feel after opening up and having your life story belittled. This is so sad. I hope you have the strength to find another therapist who will give you validation.
