Hi all, I am a newbie to this forum, so I hope everyone will bear with me!
A bit of background...I have been in therapy on and off for the past 15 years for GAD. I had severe PPD with my daughter about 1.5 years ago and have geninuely worked through it w/ meds and talk therapy.
Current situation...I started seeing a new therapist 6 months ago every 2-4 weeks when I had an insurance change. My T and I have working well together until last night. We really made a connection, and the sessions have been great. We laugh and crack jokes, and he has been using a softer approach. This last session, I was telling him about the positive changes I was making, and how I wasn't letting my family use me as a doormat anymore. I had even signed up for a class so I could get out and meet some new people. He started talking about how maybe this was where I was supposed to be, and how maybe I should just be happy with what I have. I was speechless. He then mentioned talking to the pdoc about adjusting my meds, and maybe I am depressed... Whoa, last session it was agreed that I wasn't really depressed anymore, I just had to work on my anxieties. That I needed to more assertive.
Needless to say, I left feeling more miserable than I have felt in a long time. I never leave feeling this way.
Anyhow, It's two weeks until I see him again. Do I just suck it up and wait to see him? Do I call?
I just want to cry...but I have a toddler I don't want her to know that I am sad.
Any thoughts?
