That's just manners, I'd expect a whole lot more from a therapist. Are they helping? I'm suspicious of their motivation now, is it just a job or do they want to help?

@GeniUs Well one thing that has NNOT been good was they minimized my PTSD, saying that because I 'talked regular ' and not comatose , that I would probably just be rejecte for even partial disability . And completely change d topics. I really did not like it because just because I'm talking in a normal way doesn't mean I don't have CRIPPLING anxiety. But, they will offer a few more ideas than past therapists. They gave me a positive affirmation today so I was grateful.

@Coralmist Most importantly try and follow them what they told u on a regular basis. If I am guessing probably 95% of things to do comes from the mind. So my councillor didn't say to me "run 2 miles" or "do exercise" but said "Next time u see me tell me one positive thing that happened to u." Where is THAT positivity??? All in the mind.
This was WEEKS ago and guess what? Everynight and most morning I think of one positive thing that happened in the day! When we wake up in the morning we should be happy that the sun has risen n Earth is still spinning 2 POSITIVE! We get outta bed without aches and still alive 2 POSITIVE! IMAGINE IF FROM THE 4, IF ONE FAILS!!!
I could have thought of one positive n thas it. This positive thinking is until the negative goes away from the mind could be months could be years. In short therapy is like school. Teacher has given you homework it is up to you to do it. I could have thought of one positive and end it there! Then next week lay out all my problems and find new solutions you gotta stick to one and keep it.
My first ever advice that I eas given I do it but not on a daily basis anymore. Sometimes when I feel the need for it.
I thank my councillor but she says it actually me who did all the hard work.
ANYONE can be yer therapist but it's up to the clients to do it or not do it.
