Maybe it’s a different therapist. I thought the one you had before wanted you to take charge and be assertive and stand up for yourself while you wanted her to be more warm and fuzzy. It sounds like this one is the opposite, maybe it’s a different one. She doesn’t want you to be more assertive in the manner you wanted to. Have you tried posting on therapy sub forum? They sometimes have good ideas. I often don't agree with my t.

Have you applied for promotion?
Thanks Divine! No problem. Nope, wrong therapist or person. My therapist has never encouraged me to stand up for myself or to be assertive BECAUSE she is very passive herself. I need the opposite right now because I am forced to stand up for myself.

I may have posted this thread in the wrong forum, but she does not do "psychotherapy" with me. It's more like talk therapy.

My CEO tells me leadership is my next step. He even tried to move me into a leadership role but it didn’t work out internally. There’s no application process, it’s simply a matter of speaking up with my CEO and having more convos with him about a promotion.
