So I’m sort of struggling with my therapeutic relationship. I’ve been seeing my therapist since February and I honestly feel like we haven’t talked about really anything. I came in to therapy to work through my family relationships and be able to present myself with confidence. We talked a little about my family (in the beginning) but I sort of feel like my concerns were brushed off with stuff like “just stay positive”, “keep working at it”, etc and not a lot of advice on how to progress toward my goal. Eventually, I started to feel like she was not a therapist who I would ever feel comfortable sharing my deeper, more troubling thoughts to. Then, recently we started this thing called “brain spotting” which sounds promising but also seems like it might be something I could do on my own. It seems a bit like guided meditation. I’m struggling because I really don’t know how to end the therapeutic relationship. I want to take a break from therapy since this is the second therapist I’ve tried and not liked this year. Since we’re currently working through my anxieties with the guided mediation thing I don’t know how to just end it for good.

Can you tell her what you've posted here? It could just be taking a while for your connection to grow, or she could be the wrong therapist for you. There are so many different types out there.

I disclosed my abuse too soon to my therapist, we didn't have a proper connection and he didn't know me yet, so it fell flat and did make me feel worse for a while.

You can tell her you need a break or simply don't book another appointment.

No use going to sessions if they are/feel such a waste
