conflict in therapy
Post Body

Hi all

I am bit stuck was wondering if someone has some good advice.

Long story short I hit that moment in my therapy when I had to tell my therapist that I was disappointed with a session we had. That session was about an extremely sensitive topic that took me 2 years to talk about it. Unfortunately her style turned into coaching and instead of giving me a space to talk she started ranting about potential future. I felt shut down. Took me 2 months to go back and to challenge that. I actually decided that it will be a good bye session. And it didn't go as I expected (I was hoping we will try to deep dive into the resons why I got upset and what methods I can use to work on my trauma since talking about it is so hard for me). What I got tho is a speech that I am projecting and I am expecting people to read problems from my face and that I am not sharing. Which is true . But that inability to speak about my needs is the reason I am in the therapy.... I know that my memory of the session is also on paranoid side because it's so hard for me to express my needs and I automatically feel like I am being criticised and guilty. Either way I know that such moments in therapy are very important and they tend to lead to a break through. But at the same time I don't feel safe or comfortable to go back. I feel like that assessment was unfair. And considering that before that last session I had several with no progress what's so ever . I don't know if I see the point. I feel very heartbroken and somewhat betrayed and judged. Not sure if it's good idea to comeback
