I have always had trouble with therapists. This forum is incredible. I feel I am understood and have been given good advice and you all have been empathetic -I really think she is over her head with me. she is not like a sledgehammer but she really isn't empathetic or sensitive. she is making me learn how to assert myself which I have a hard time doing unless I get furious.I think she has common sense but I hate when somebody assumes something rather than knows it as a fact. Do you know what I mean? Like yesterday she said something and I asked her if she were making an educated guess or if she really knew as a fact.
anyways trying to believe that everything is for the good is the only way I can think of to tackle stressful situations causing extreme anxiety is the solution and try not to let the anxiety get out of hand. I also have to learn to be kind and control my irritability
