I dont know how t can help me anymore. Its not just my t but other ts. I dont even know if I can be helped anymore. I am feeling like I am too much for my t, there is not enough minutes in our session to deal with everything I need to deal with.
Even if my t seen me for a whole day a week it would not be enough time lately, everything seems to be triggering me lately, I feel as though I am walking around with no skin and people can see right through me, it almost hurts to be this raw and exposed.
I know why this is happening and logically it makes sense but physically its too much.
I feel like I need to run away from all of this pain and to escape o somewhere where nobody knows me.
My t doesnt understand this pain that I am in.

I know what you mean about it seeming like you with never get through it all and running away from it all. I am there with you and it all seems so pointless but all you can do is put one foot in front of the other and see where it takes you.

What signs has your therapist shown that you are too much? Because I tend to think they are very good at shutting out most of what a client is going through and not taking it on. Some can run the risk of seeming cold and cruel, but I don't think an experienced one gets too wrapped up in the emotions of a client.

btw: I read your title as though you were feeling for your therapist too much. Took me more than a few moments to figure out that you did not mean that...or did you?

Do you feel for your T too much Mona ? You've mentioned in a couple of threads that you want to take care of your T. It seems your T has some issues , but we can never be our therapist's therapists. I'm still hoping you will find a quality T , I'm sorry you are in pain

I'm so sorry. I hear your pain through your words. And I've been there...and I am there. I often feel too much - that my "stuff" is too much and that "I" am too much. I ask, over and over...is this too much? Am I too much? It helps to hear him answer 'no' over and over. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I really hate that you are feeling these feelings. Maybe you can start asking? See if you can get some reassurance that way?

No I didn't mean that but it could be interpreted either way! She has shown a number of signs and I feel that she is too caught up in whatever is going for her at the minute.
I feel that t has grown cold and distant lately!

I do feel for my t too much but in this instance I meant I feel I am too much for her. She doesn't understand me anymore and I am starting to think no one does.
I wish I didn't know so much about t and her personal life, this case she didn't tell me what was happening, somebody else did. You can't unlearn what you have learnt.

Sorry you are in the same situation it hurts! I am going to ask my t tomorrow if I am too much, it never actually occurred to me to ask. She would want me to ask and to stay in contact with her rather than shut her down!

Too much comes up a lot in me too and it is hard to deal with. I like the idea of asking directly. Maybe that could work to get a direct answer. Sorry you are going through this monalisa, it is a rocky road we travel.

I am sorry you're going through this Mona and the feelings of not being understood and feeling too much are horrble. I hope you feel you are understood and supported here , you are not too much , people in pain never are. No , you cannot unlearn what you have learned. Sending you hugs and peace

Thank you for the replies I do feel understood and supported here, thank you out there for your understanding x
