Lately I have been having a hard time with therapy. And I don't mean to offend anyone with this post...it is a combinations of thoughts outloud and looking for other people's comments.
I go and see this person 2 times a week that I have EXTREME feelings for and about and it is all fake. I mean, is the point of therapy to make the feelings so difficult and painful that it almost makes life worse? Feelings that are in therapy, but are really from the past?
Is it real to be sitting in a room with someone who only sees you 1-2 hours per week and blows smoke up your *ss trying to help improve your self-esteem and supporting you, when you know T also supports everyone else?
So for example, T supports you as a person who experienced abuse, but in another hour, they could be supporting an abuser?What does becoming dependent on someone who is really not available as we wish (parents, spouses, friends) do anything for improvement? I am never going to have a mom, so how does "working through it" fix my heartache? It has not so far.
While T's are supposedly non-judegemental, truth is everyone has an opinion, so when a T supports something that goes against their beliefs, isn't that lying to us?
I am really struggling with these ideas. I don't know if that means I am done with therapy, or just beginning, but anyone have any thoughts?
