Where you feel like however much time you have put into therapy and getting better is all for not and nothing had changes, really.. Nothing.

That's how I feel after today's session.

I have been feeling like that for the last couple of weeks. Sometimes I think that I just need to accept how I am, but I really don't want to do that. I've been trying really hard to find even the very little things that have improved about me. It does somewhat help.

I am sorry that you are feeling this way today.

I hate those sessions with a passion BUT-- and this is the truth, once I get passed that hopeless-this-is-going-nowhere- feeling SOMETHING usually gets stirred up in me. I seem to have my biggest in-between session breakthroughs after a crap session like that. Maybe I work harder to overcome the stuck feeling or don't want to get complacent with it...I hope you have a mini-breakthrough too!
Thanks for this!

i felt like that today. all we did was play jenga and "Get to know each other". i hate her and i don't want to get to know her and it was the biggest waste of time. her jenga pieces had questions written on them, like things like, "whats your biggest fear?" etc, and i found myself lying to her about everything. very unproductive

If you speak about being stuck with your T, it (in my experience) changes the dynamic and changes therapy again. In my case it made therapy change paths to one that did start helping me (after 5 years)

I get them but I also get a lot of those- this IS working and IS helping me. I can do it.
Guess it's part of my B/W thinking...

Yes i have had a session like that many a time. I always find that shortly after that session something changes, like i am able to disclose something, or talk about something, or feel more comfortable in some way.

We all have times when we stop believing in ourselves. The key is to allow that feeling.

I have had many, many sessions like this. When I get four in a row, I quit.

Sorry for the hijack, Healed, but I have to ask, did SHE answer the questions on the pieces SHE pulled out, Miswimmy?
