I've found that if I try to fight thoughts or feelings they just get stronger. Feelings just are.
What does your therapist say? Does she think it's helpful to talk about your feelings? I admit that I found it helpful in my therapy to talk through it, and eventually I did come out on the other side.
Does your therapist talk about her dating relationship? Some therapists self disclose a lot more than others, and I think there are valid reasons on both sides of the argument. Even though my therapist is pretty self disclosing, I never even knew he was dating until he told me he was getting married. I suppose he usually self discloses when I notice he's upset, not when he's happy. Do you think her level of self disclosure is helpful to you?
