I wonder if other people feel the same way about their therapists.
I feel like my therapist is not a real person. I can only really connect with her when she talks about her life.
I don’t know how or what to share when I meet with her. I meet every week with her and I usually forget what I want to say when I am in therapy.
Can anyone relate?
Any tips I can try?

I have therapist too but very limited sessions. She is forcing me to get a job as homework. I told her already I have social anxiety but it seems like she forgot about that. I don't know if I can deal with rude customers in my first job. I am also disappointed when she told me when I have anxiety thoughts that I should stop thinking about it and tell myself if I can do anything about it or not. Yeah, so easy to say.
Just get a different therapist. I don't want to get different one because my parents will be upset. You need to find the right therapist for you like finding a right friend.
ReplyMy first therapist I kind if felt the same about. She kind of just asked me questions and I tried to not have a mental breakdown. I think she eventually gave up on me and just let me color those relaxing coloring books. My second therapist, however, was someone I was comfortable with. She wasn't afraid to use the type of language I did when talking about my problems, and encouraged me to do things I couldn't have done before. If you forget what you need to say, which is what I usually ended up doing, maybe write it down so you don't forget.
ReplyMy therapist also tries to get me to forget my anxiety but we do talk about how it has gotten better. Now, I talk to her about self development and things I want to do to increase my self love and confidence.
