I was in the same dilemma but you know what... Maybe they don't realize yet that your paychilogist is not like bad people they knew in the past... Could you just ask them to go with you and pay attention in your next session and tell them what you know about him being trustworthy? Maybe hat would help them feel safer. Good luck

I have tried but they don't like me telling them things they prefer to tell me things I don't know, why does everything have to be so complicated.
Thanks for this!

This. I took what was for me a pretty big risk yesterday - I let some childish feelings out. Yeah, I feel a bit silly, but the outcome was my T calling me to offer extra support. Sometimes you have to do some really scary things to get where you want to be. Not just in therapy, but in life. I can really speak to that one...

What makes them think they know any better than you do?
Yeah, there are people in the world who want to hurt others, but they are vastly outnumbered by those who want to help others. While nothing is 100%, the odds are significantly in favor of your T wanting to help.

They do know better I always riun everything and whenever I do something I always fail if I do what they say things always seem to work out. I know taking risks is supposed to be good but I am pretty sure I am somewhat cursed so I don't think it is good for me.

Are you sure that's not just what they're telling you? Your voices sound a lot like my abusive ex. He used to make me think I was useless and couldn't do anything right. Turns out he desperately needed me - was terrified to live without me and projected all his fears onto me. Now he's hiding from the process server (divorce papers) and sending emails begging me to come home.
I don't know how much my experience correlated to yours, but I would say *you* are in charge and *you* get to make the decisions about what's best for you. How helpful are those voices in making you feel better anyway? My guess is they're holding you back by keeping you scared.

They do help me sometimes though and i dont know what i want or who i am so someone else might as well be happy and they do want what is best for me i think it is just hard to explain. I just really dont know what to do i dont know who to listen too. Ugh i am tired.

I know it's hard, and scary I hope your T can help you. I never would have found myself and found the strength to leave my ex without mine.
