Do you think a therapist job is to...

Say "uncomfortable" things?
Mine shared this is her view .


I don't believe that's the main goal or objective of a therapist. I think they should validate your experience or feelings, and be objective...if they are not supposed to "tell you what to do", which I believe they use that as a way to be completely cut off from offering real guidance, then why would telling a person negative, uncomfortable things, be more important, than giving helpful tips? Most people are there not from having positive helpful people or experiences...they are there often due to horrible experiences already😢

For the most part I feel like I have to tell mine what to do . The help I need doesn't seem to exist outside of myself . As much work as we can do on ourselves ....sometimes I need something other than me. I'm kind of tired .

@SpiritSkye same. Was telling another member they should be offering therapy, tools, or tips that help anxiety or trauma. But they rarely do anything. If I could do it all on my own I would not be there. 😧
@Coralmist I feel you. 🩷
