thought I posted the other night, but I guess this did not take. Basically what I stated was that I feel it is important for my coach to challenge me and I grow more when I am not feeling all the great when leaving the session. I believe it is the job of the counselor to challenge and not agree with the things we are saying since that only leads to us continuing to do the things we have been doing. I also know that I can be very angry person at times as well. I have come to realize that anger and me being p off does not help me or take me places I want to be. I have been challenged a lot and have learned a lot due to that. I have been exposed to tapping, mindfulness, acceptance, and challenging negative thinking. I believe that if I agree with the counselor then there is no reason to be going to one. I a not growing and all I am doing is spinning my own wheels. I have leaned to be open and straight forward in my session so he can process and work though my thoughts. If I want to call him a name. I tell him that and he works through it with me. I do not rant or become angry about session and carry it with me for days or hours like I use to since it was only hurting me. I say what I want and then move on. I am not sure this is helping you, but this is what I have learned and how I am growing. I say what I need to say and deal with it instead of hiding and justifying the reasons to why I will not say things or approach them. Hope this helps and gives you some insight into things that work for me. if you are interested in more, please let me know. Best of luck
