Getting out can be empowering, as can telling a therapist in no uncertain terms that the process is making you feel worse. Not always easy.

Yeah that's it.. I can see that in some respects it makes me feel worse, but I've also gotten out of therapy with a different T, for similar reasons. I didn't feel it was helping, and yeah I wasn't feeling good being left like that. But with a couple of months, I found a new one. She's a lot different and seems to get it a little more. Which I think makes it even more difficult between sessions. It's just hard to know what would be better. A strong part of me wants to cling on, but another part knows that it can't work like that.. silly therapy
