Some sessions just suck, TBH.
. No matter what brings you to your therapist’s couch, the process of working through your shit can sometimes make you feel, well, shitty. Mining through your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings in front of a professional—even for the sake of eventually feeling better—can be uniquely awful., Ph.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at Mount Sinai Hospital, tells SELF. “Just as many people go in knowing that pain is involved in healing. But knowing is different than actually experiencing it.
How can you tell the difference? If you feel judged, silenced, or ignored by your therapist, your dread might signal that they aren’t right for you, Kara Lowinger, L.C.S.W., director of Adult Outpatient Care at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, tells SELF. “Therapy, more than anything, is about the therapeutic relationship,” she says. “Feeling accepted, cared for, and responded to in a way that you need is part of what makes it effective.
When it comes to finding the right words here, your best bet is to express yourself truthfully. There’s no good or bad way to bring it up. Even blurting out something like, “I dread coming here” is as a very clear invitation for your therapist to help you explore what’s up, Lowinger says.
