Therapy?

[valkryor]

I have a therapy session in about an hour and a half.

Is it wrong to think that I'm not going to get anything out of it? I've only seen this woman 3 times, but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere (or, conversely, how I felt two months ago when I was at my lowest is not how I feel now). I'm still going to keep the appointment, but I'm wondering if I should bother continuing...

If it doesn't kill you...

I'd have to say that meowster is right, in regards to communicating with your counsellor. Let your therapist know that you aren't satisfied.

I should add, however, that therapy isn't meant to be a quick fix -there is no such thing. If you feel good when you leave a session, then you aren't getting help (aka constructive criticism).

Think of it as tearing away an old, filthy bandage from an infected wound. It going to hurt a lot, and it could also get very messy. It will even sting when you try to clean it. Eventually, it will heal.
