We're at similar points in our therapy process, about the same number of sessions in. I recently told my therapist that I think therapy might be a complete waste of time and that it might make matters a lot worse. I questioned the very basis of it, whether it would be of any use at all to me or to anyone else. I threw screeds of somewhat overwrought (if you can believe that) objections at her. I expected her to tell me to go boil my head.
And you know what she did? She talked to me about my feelings, answered what questions I had and was stable in the face of my uncertainty and to be honest, emotional confusion.
You really need to understand that what happened to you is bad therapy. You're only three sessions in. Time to find a decent therapist. A decent therapist is someone who can take the thoughts you expressed and do something useful with them, not just make you feel like you ****ed up.
