Anyone ever feel like they want to hurt themselves somehow to get their T to hear them or take them seriously? Yes, I've tried words. And yes, I know that idea is not at all healthy and I'm not threatening/planning to actually do it. It's just a feeling.
Does that mean it's time to quit therapy, at least with this person? I know therapy is hard and brings up hard emotions, but that doesnt seem like it should be one of them.
I'm considering telling her those exact words (above).. but I have a tendency to get into relationships that clearly arent working and stay in them WAY beyond the appropriate time because I feel like I just must run myself ragged trying to fix it/make them get it/etc. I dont want to run away if it's the wrong decision, but I also dont want to recreate that pattern. If it's time to go, it's time to go. Unfortunately, my meter to gauge that has been broken for years.
