My therapist doesn't hear my pain... he is a good therapist.. I know that...

His primary focus is always for enjoyment of the future.. the future... and I guess.. I have kinda "had" it...

He says... "learn new skills"... "learn new skills then you will be able to be able to do XYZ"....

please, please.. tell me... I am 52... and been in therapy for 23 years.. and I have... worked.. and worked.. in therapy.. so I could be a good parent.. so I could take care of my parents.. so I could work to support all of them... even my ex-husband..

I guess.. I look at this as more of the same...what on earth????

I asked him... why not look... at the skills.. I have now.. today... at this moment.. and figure out what I can do.. that would bring some joy into my life... now...

Intergration.. is all I here - "it will be better when I intergrate"...

We both agreed that talking to each other was like talking to a brick wall..

And.. then.. he said " you need to make a promise to me.. that you will keep yourself safe.. after each session"...

I mean... " I promise".... but how meaningless...

so confused...
