Iīve experienced two or three times now that people I've seen for counselling made me upset, sad, mad me cry and I then just decide not to talk anymore and just wait for the session to end. (Iīm mentally present all the time though). T:s have then tried to make me tell them whatīs happening, what I feel and if thereīs something they can do for me.
But I just feel itīs of no use to talk when they made me cry, even if that wasnīt their intention.
When this happened the last time it was because my T wanted us to sit completely silent and "see what happened" and how I felt about that. I just felt kind of ridiculed and didnīt feel much besides it just reminded me about a couple of other negative experiences with therapists.
I of course understand that this is not a way forward, to stay silent, but in those cases I feel that it wonīt make me feel better to talk to the therapist and as Iīm so focused on not continuing to cry and thinking about "nothing" I canīt express how I feel in a decent way anyway.
