I'm really having a hard time telling if my T is helpful at other times. I don't ever leave feeling "helped," and I am not - objectively speaking - getting "better" in terms of symptom relief. I have a great amount of difficulty in sessions and lots of emotions come up.
I guess I just don't understand what is "supposed" to happen and whether what is happening is therapeutic, and I don't trust my therapist enough to make those calls on what would be therapeutic or not. At the same time, I'm not a therapist so I don't really understand what T should be doing.
I just feel dissatisfied without any one reason. I feel disappointed that it's not helping and I feel hopeless, like I'm just not going to be able to change.

I too feel that I may be suggestible to what my T suggests and could lose sight of how I originally felt. I have said this to T but I'm not sure she has really got what I'm trying to say about it.
Is your T helpful at other times?
