T today and I feel like ****

Couldn't speak, couldn't be articulate, feel worthless and useless. She really tried and I just didn't feel worthy of the help. I ache all over from sitting there so rigidly holding it all in.

Aww...
Here you go...

*hugs hugs hugs*

I'm sorry it wasn't the best, but in its way it was another session with your therapist. Maybe in the next session you'll find your defenses are just a tiny bit down.

We don't always know when or where the change will come ...

Take care of you for now. You deserve it.

I really really believe that every single time we show up for therapy, it's a success. We learn something about ourselves or we connect with T a little or we practice being brave by doing something so scary or any number of things. You showed up, and that is huge.

I'm so sorry you're stuck with so much pain. Can you do something nice for yourself? You deserve nice, no matter WHAT.
Thanks for this!

I know how it feels, I totally did that last time. Good for you for going to your session. You're trying. The progress may be slower than you like but you are showing up and you are trying. Good for you.
Thanks for this!

Maybe just think of this as a time when you worked on establishing trust? Obviously your T cares about you because she hung in there and trying the entire session. Hugs!
Thanks for this!

Just keep trying to do some healing work with your T, because you are so worth it

I can relate to periods of extreme resistance, to where your body aches afterwards. I wish it wasn't so hard to deal with....

Please be kind to yourself today.....((( HUGS )))

Sometimes showing up to our sessions is the best we can do. Two steps forward, one step back....
