I'm having a hard time with IFS after 4 sessions.
Feeling somewhat disconnected... like I'm not doing it "right". Therapist told me that all of this is normal and not "wrong" but told me I'm trying to "please him". This got under my skin! I have no argument against that but it's turned me off probably because it's true and I'm not truly getting the process.
He suggested maybe we are going to deeply too fast which I think is true. I want to stop and say fuck it. I'm a newbie therapist myself and intellectual and educated about trauma and it seems it's getting in the way. When he's asking me about feelings and perceptions it seems there are many managers and I feel like I'm failing and not "doing therapy right". Not used to this at all.
I've had lots of other more eclectic approach talk therapy and I've found them more helpful than this. Maybe IFS is showing me how much work there is to do. Maybe it's time to take a break, I'm open to comments. Thanks βΊοΈ
