Yep, it can be frustrating as sometimes I want to go to therapy and do non-practical stuff, like share a dream or something, but there are so many nuts and bolts to be taken care of, that we pretty much just have to deal with that. (((hugs))) for you and what you are going through right now. I liked the little interchange about the days of the week that you shared. Even in those little moments, one can find therapy.

I'd say that I felt mad or scared or whatever and my old (CBT therapists) would launch into ways to challenge those beliefs that resulted in the feelings.

I can see that would be very offputting, like the therapist was trying to convince you not to be scared or sad? Doesn't sound very therapeutic. I'm glad you have a more empathetic T now, alex.
