I very often resist the "healthy" things my pdoc suggests. But as I trust him more, I listen to him more and try to hold back my anxiety as he explains why my perceptions are distorted.
I'm sorry your T threw in that part about resistance leading to termination, because that just puts you on guard more.
Maybe you could just try one little thing that he suggests. Not let your anxiety completely overtake you and make a deal with him that you'll try this idea for the week. Breaking it down into little pieces makes it easier for me. If I don't, I get entirely flooded and everything he says is "wrong" and it's like I just set myself against listening.
take care Amanda, you're doing really hard work.
