Hang in there, it will get better. It is so very, very hard and your feelings are genuine. We all know that. It's learning to find a way to live with them, to get through them, and to come out the other side stronger. I know it works, because I have come through it with my T and while I don't know if that will be possible with my pdoc, I do know what the ending is "supposed" to look like.
The best thing I can offer is to go ahead and feel these feelings and express them the best you can. I HATE when I'm told that just talking about it with my pdoc is a step forward, when I don't see it that way, but it really is. Sharing the feelings, saying them out loud (despite how very difficult that can be, at least for me) helps to start releasing the power these feelings have over me, or at least I hope so.
I'm glad you have the support you seem to need. Just to keep at it. Being in the middle is so tough, but have faith that you will get where you need to be. But you have to have faith, or take a leap of faith, that you can trust them while balancing an understanding that they are worthy of your trust.
Therapy is so complicated and we live so much of it in our head. Or at least that's how I've always felt about it.
good luck,
antigua
