Don't know what to do

Post Reply New Topic

I feel like my therapy sessions are pointless, the therapist tells me to normalize every problem i have and that everyone else including her are going through what i am. She tells me i need confidence and that i need to feel better and get on the right medication. If i binge eat and then diet where i eat nothing she tells me it is probably because of the season cause it is spring and that everyone including her go through that where they emotionally eat and want to lose the weight now to look good in a bathing suit. This is just one thing but there are a million others she gives excuses for every problem i have or tells me she has that or to normalize it. I have been going to this therapist for awhile and it is the same story. I had some testing done and recommendations and one is cognitive therapy and she isn't really doing this in my opinion. The dr. there barely knows me and tells me i cannot have AS maybe mild but probably not. I wish i had a therapist hwo understood me and i can't seem to get relief i feel worse when i leave treatment

Well... can you switch therapists?

It sounds like your therapist is telling you to "deal with it". Last time I checked, that's not what a therapist is supposed to do.

I could switch therapists there if i want and try that yes i think my anxiety takes over and i can't tell them i am unhappy unless i do it over the phone with the receptonist.

I tell her i don't know how to understand others that they use big words and i avoid social interaction all the time and she says that she avoids people that talk too much too. i am ready to switch to go somwhere else i have given it a chance and it is the same everytime i go.
