Thanks. That was an interesting aspect. What I feel when my T asks me about things is that she searches for specific events, times and so on. She mostly lets me ramble and that isnīt effective. At the same time I donīt have the energy to push forward and steer therapy forward. My efforts donīt lead me anywhere.

What I would be asking if I were her is something like when do you first remember feeling low self-esteem/bad about yourself, what else (not necessarily related to low self-esteem) was going on in your life at the time, how were the people in your life behaving at the time, etc.
