I wonder if anyone else gets the feeling when seeing your therapist that "it is how it is"?
I have several practical problems which are closely connected to unemployment and how unemployed are dealt with and such. That is, the problems are of a societal nature and when telling my therapist about them I get the feeling that "it is how it is" and itīs rather pointless bringing my problems up.
I think for me this has to do with that I know my therapist canīt understand how my life is and of course she canīt do anything practical about unemployment or other societal problems that affect me negatively.
I have already told her that I know she canīt do anything about problems of this kind and that therapy isnīt about just rambling about what doesnīt work.
As I have shared a lot about what happens around my unemployment but at the same time find it pointless to do so Iīm now thinking of changing my approach to answer her that "it is how it is" and if nothing else comes up to talk about that is also how it is.
Has anybody felt like this and used answers like "it is how it is" or similar when your therapist asks you things like "how has your week been" and similar?
