They don't like it when you tell them everything.
They're just there to get you off the ledge and back into the stuff that got put you on the ledge.
Unless you're loaded with unlimited billable hours, then honey, lets get you some catharsis! What does fulfillment look like to you?
"Have you considered that you may be too depressed for therapy," and, "EMDR is more for singular trauma. You have too many for this to work," are my absolute wins in therapy.
I have since retired to the medication-only league where I continue my victorious march toward death by defeating round after round of big pharma's scientists.
Witness me.
I really wish that my therapists would just get to that point. They keep trying the same shit over and over again that ends up not working and, in some cases, has made things work. I've given up. Really wish they would too.
Never to late too jump ship and find a new therapist. I know that process sucks, but finding someone that gets you and can validate you makes all the difference. Drop this turd.
In some cases, has made things work.
I hope I'm helping
I've won therapy every time. It doesn't take much to figure out the two options are 1. Get my shit and sort it out or 2. Take drugs(but the legal ones).
Well now I wanna hear it so I can see if I identify with it

Yesterday I explained something so bleak to my therapist she asked me if we could pause for a minute so she could think about it. I'm getting close to winning therapy I can feel it in my bones.

Dont share shit like this. You're not cool for having a sad life. Dont glorify it like this.
Yeah, bottle it up and deal with it like a man! Keep all the bad stuff and keep it out of sight and only let it come to the surface when drunk or talking in your sleep.
ITT, somebody assumes that EVERYBODY must cope like they do.
no. Its just that some coping mechanisms are wrong
For a lot of people part of dealing with difficult stuff is laughing and finding the humor and irony of it when you can.
The OPs replies to this thread do not have humor and irony though. In a broad sense you are right, in this instance it's just sad imo.
