Do you get frustrated in therapy?

I go over many anxieties and fears that are making my life very small. I feel hopeless and hanging by a thread, and have shared that fact too. When discussing traumas and subsequent fears that hold me back, because the therapist mainly just nods, I am always the one to try to find any healing tips or challenge my fear out loud. And I'm thinking, isn't my therapist supposed to challenge my thoughts at least sometimes??? I am there for input too, besides just sharing my fears or issues.

They did say to keep doing positive things I enjoy, but it's a Very blanketed statement. I really need some more reflection on my issues than only one line.
Do you ever feel that way?

You should look for a new one better suited for you

@Notsimilarreally Yes, but unfortunately the last three were all similar...they really don't offer true THERAPY. I think they think they just need to nod... people need HELP, that's why we're coming 🥺

@Coralmist hmm....there's some online programs you could try to find a therapist that way. It would just broaden your options.

@Notsimilarreally That's true, thank you 🦋

@Coralmist of course. I know it's hard to find a match. Pretty sure I went through three before one ever stuck too haha.

Have you ever had nuero feedback done?

@Notsimilarreally No , you mean brain scan or?

@Coralmist hmm well it does read your brain waves! Look into it. I have an aunt who is a therapist and practices lens muerofeedback so I got to be her little guinea pig haha. It was great!

@Notsimilarreally I've not heard of it, interesting. I'll look into it, thanks.
