The thing is, my T isn't bad. They're quite sympathetic and honestly is one of the nicest therapists I've had in my life. But I can't help but feel like they're tired of hearing about my problems because it's not terrible.
Trigger warning: CSA
Today I spoke about my CSA and my T said "You've been through a lot. But remember, it could have been worse." And then proceeded to ask me how I thought it could have been worse for me. Then they said "Every time you feel this way, remember that you have many things to be grateful for. Although what you went through was horrible, it could have been worse". I felt like throwing up after hearing that but I couldn't help but feel like my T could have been right and I'm just feeling too sorry for myself to realize it.

I don't usually respond to input on what I think in situations but this one I want to just day that I spent 30 years of my life 'moving on because others had worse things'.... it lost over half my life and got me nowhere. At 45 years old, I stumbled across a t accidentally that said I had issues that were never going to allow me to move on if I didn't go back and deal with them.
I won't day start you should do, but want to to know that I even thought I was doing what was right with the 'let go and move on' mentality and you sound like you can sense it isn't right fit you already... go with your gut and get help that you can feel is making a difference and don't let your life move by you waiting.
