I read somewhere that it's not right for a therapist to tell what to and what not to do, yet my memory is uncertain.
I just feel so increasingly horrible I'm starting to question my therapist.

If you are feeling increasingly horrible, why not check out another t? I think ts vary in how directive they are. T1 will sometimes ask if I want him to be directive. I think, though, that most anyone would say that exercising is good. And my ts would likely have told me that my approach shows hostility if that is what they think. But I guess that depends on what you want from therapy. Are you clear in your own mind about what you want from a t?
But back to questioning-I think that is probably a good idea if things are getting worse.
