Thanks, Seldom. You are right about how minimizing it feels. And somehow critical, although I know she doesn't mean it that way. But right now it REEKS of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps," which makes me want to scream.
I like your suggestions better. She did say tonight, "I'm sorry this is so hard for you." But even that doesn't sit well right now. It doesn't feel helpful and I don't know -- it feels like the emphasis is on "for you," like this wouldn't be so hard for anyone else. Probably the depression talking.
We spent most of the session in silence again.
