This session went SO much better than my first due to my being alone in the room with the T. I was much more comfortable and not as shaken up since my dad wasn't there to anger me.
Just a question though...next session (two weeks from now) I have to do a "treatment plan". Basically I have to come up with goals that I want out of therapy.
I'm being forced to go anyways, so my T said I might as well get something out of it...but I have to think of what. Do I want help not being so depressed? Totally. But why do I feel like I don't think (or maybe even want) my T to help with that?
I guess all I'm asking is some advice for what I should think of for my treatment plan. Any past stories entirely welcome...
Thanks..

It's possible that the depression means something to you. Like your identity or something? Or maybe you don't want to hope that things improve because you don't want to be hurt?

Also, maybe try to look at some of the reasons you're depressed (friend problems, home problems, self-worth problems, etc...) Your T can help with all of those if you tell her what is going on.

It is really normal to be resistant when you are forced into treatment, but like your T said, why not take advantage of it now that you're there.

Oh, and you can tell her you're feeling resistant, too. She won't get angry or upset at you.

Perhaps look at the circumstances that led to you being court-ordered into therapy. What led to that? What needs to change for you so those kinds of situations don't occur again? What was the real root of that problem?
Thanks for this!

I guess the main problem is me. I was the one that went and got in trouble. Everything's always my fault though, haha, so its whatever...

And therapy is ultimately about you, so that sounds like a place to start.

That I don't want to be so depressed or that I'm not really sure what to say? haha I guess I could tell her either. This whole therapy thing is just new to me and it's taking awhile to get used to.

Haha, I was referring to not knowing what to say. But you can definitely say both. I think she needs to hear both.
