> I agree with you that therapy can make you feel worse sometimes. In fact, I've even told my therapist that I thought this whole ordeal was so full of crap (and that he was so full of crap for pushing it on me) that I was just going to quit and forget it ever happened.
>thats how I feel, and Im questionsing my T
> But, I have learned now that the badness is a part of the healing. Just as if you had sprained your ankle and the swelling and pain help the sprain to heel, the crying, the doubting, the mourning, the anger, the frustration in therapy all help the inner wounds to heal. It's like a transient inflammation of the soul. It passes and is stronger for it.
I know what you mean

> Please stick it out in therapy. You are absolutely right to bring this up to your therapist and yes, more therapy sessions will help you to resolve this pain quicker (it always has for me).I will go talk to him, but it felt like I was insulting him, maybe my approach was? I don't know.
