I don't know what it is, but it's like she wasn't understanding me or was just plain NOT listening to me AT ALL. I made it through the session, rolling my eyes on the inside at the amount of incompetence that was in front of me.
However, at the end of the session, she said something very important which turned out to be an epiphany for me. She said: "Get out of your mind - the mind likes to remember everything, good bad and ugly and most of the time it isn't good for you. Unless you are in a safe space or have a safety net to travel there, DON'T go there at all." I don't know why, but this really hit the nail on the head for me.
I don't know what to do, the whole session was awful, but she said one really good thing. Should I even continue with her?

Maybe try another session with her. She may be going somewhere with that statement. I actually like what she said. I live in my mind to the point where I am almost not aware of my surroundings. See what else she has to say.
What was it about her that you didn't like? That might help us give you more feedback.
