If there any therapist can answer, do you get tired of us for not doing the homework or taking too long to make anything or for the therapy to go too long for a year and over
And for everyone do you feel the pressure when you go to your therapist without doing the homework and fee like you’re disappointing them or it just me
I started therapy 11 month ago, i switched my therapist after two months it didn’t feel right to stay with her
So i started with someone else, he helped me to manage my trichotillomania, and for the first time in my life i talked about the SA that happened to me when i was little. He has patience something my last therapist hasn’t, he isn’t pressuring me to do the assignments he is walking at my pace, after a long week and my mind won’t shut down he is the only one that can manage my mind and the chaos. I am feeling safe with him and don’t want to stop seeing him
The problem is that my family don’t know anything about me, so all they want to see is losing wight because i am obese the always bugged me about it and to found a job
They don’t think the therapy is right for me and that i didn’t change at all, even after i began telling my opinion and confronting my dad about how bad of a father he is.
I see changes happens to me with my therapist even if it is little, but that is because of me i am so slow and doing assignments, like go to the gym or swimming lessons
I am doing everything slow so it took me months do start a course and get driving lessons
But to my family their isn’t any changes and they tend to be sarcastic when i tell them there are changes
So lately with me not doing assignments and feeling guilty every time i go to see my therapist and my family not having patience i feel like i am taking steps back, i can’t go a week without pulling my hair or don’t do anything from the assignments all i need is to stay on bed and shut them all down because it feels too much, then i thought about taking break from therapy two to three weeks to just lift off some of the weight on me
I feel like i can’t deal with everything and my family makes it thousand time difficult
Am i right for thinking of taking a break ?
