Confident
I’ve been fed up of therapy for a while, I’ve lost drive and I’m apathetic towards it. My heart isn’t in it. I do the work and I engage however I’m fed up of the lack of results.
The frustration is evident in the therapy room, the past few sessions the therapist looks defeatist and I leave feeling hopeless. How am I going to get better if I’m doing the work in and out of therapy but I’m not hitting milestones. Therapy is stuck and I feel useless for not healing. Worst of all I feel condemned by the therapist for not getting better if an EMDR session doesn’t resolve a memory.
I don’t know whether I need a break so I can come back in a few months with a new sense of commitment/energy/drive. Or maybe I need to find a new therapist working with a different approach.
Question:
If/When you felt hopeless in therapy due to a lack of progress what did you do to recharge and regain drive?
When do you know it’s time for a partial break from long term therapy?
Thanks
