i have been with my t since I was 16 years old
She specializes in trauma, she doesn't believe in pushing trauma work when someone isn't ready and for a long time I wasn't ready

But now I feel ready but the voices ("psychosis") are getting much louder and she wants to wait before starting trauma work because she feels as though it's not smart to start trauma work while the voices are telling me to kill myself

I asked some people about this and they told me that a "good" therapist would push you a little and a "good" therapist could work through the voices

I don know how true this is, but it really hurt me because I trust my t a lot and we've been seeing each other for six years, I've been in therapy since I was 14 years old and I've been through three other therapists before Her and none of them were any good

I feel like now that I have trust in my therapist I can work on trauma, but I feel like the voices will always get in the way. They are not always loud or telling me to kill myself but they are always there

Should I seek a second opinion from another therapist?
I agree with my therapist that pushing me to do trauma work while it's stressful for me isn't a good idea, but if a "good" therapist does it, then does it work?

Honestly I think someone is giving you bad advice.....there aren't great ways to work through the voices and trauma work is tough at any time......

This might be a good question to post at the psychotherapy forum. There seems to be a lot of people there with knowledge of therapy.

I would agree with your therapist. I think hearing voices would get in the way. I would talk to her more about it, and about the trust issues you are having. You’ve been seeing her for a long time, and I would think she’d be open to talking with you about it. There’s nothing wrong with second guessing your therapists opinion. It just sounds like you have a good relationship with her, and it would be best to talk with her about it than to get a second opinion from someone else who doesn’t know you.

A lot of trauma work can worsen schizophrenia symptoms. I read it somewhere and forgot where, but it can.
