to all.

Therapists don't generally focus on symptoms, but on causes. If you had headaches because of stress, it would only do to give headaches a small amount of attention (as in what to take or do when you have one) and use good therapy time to work on the stress reaction that is causing them.

Seasoned therapists are not shocked, nor moved to termination, by the disclosure by patients. You're in therapy for help, they don't send people who need help away.

Sometimes, I think, patients need to discuss such activity with their doctors so that they, themselves are sure that the doctor really understands how much they, the patient, are hurting. Once a patient knows the T cares, and remembers what is "going on behind the scenes" then the sessions can focus on therapy that can change the course of those activities.
