Therapy is painful for me because:
1. I am sure that I am not good at it, that I can't be as open as my T wants me to be
2. I am often consumed with thinking about what my T has said, but fear that I didn't really understand him
3. I hate that my feelings for my T are not reciprocated
4. Even when I get some insight into an issue, it doesn't make it go away! Like when I realized that I don't really hate my mother, I just have been yearning for nurturing all of my life. I still feel sad and awful about my reltionahsip with her.
5. The big fear is that I'll never get better.Thanks for asking the question -- its always helpful to look at the specifics and not just the overarching feeling of pain. I guess thats why I keep going to therapy!
