Getting out tough topics in therapy! Regretting a Sexual Experience & Is Therapy Right for Me?
Added 2017-05-04 00:58:20 +0000 UTC1. What is a good way to help get your thoughts out in therapy if you're finding that you're having an exceptionally hard time talking about a certain topic? My therapist sent me on my vacation for two weeks with a ton of homework because I have a hard time talking about certain things due to how I was raised even though I know it isn't helping me.
2. Quite hard to word right but I will try... I ended up sleeping with someone (first time ever) a couple of years ago and I told myself it was because I wanted to get it out of the way however I tried to back out twice in the space of a couple of hours but still went through with it just so the 'first time' was done. I've had friends say it was either: social pressure, self sabotage, personal pressure, or just because I've got zero confidence in myself. How can you tell the difference between any of those? I've tried but the differences are (for me) really blurred. All I know is how much I still regret it and feel disgusted with myself now.
3. Hi kati, I'm kind of confused about therapy. I started seeing my therapist 4 months ago thanks to you (thank you for that) and it's great. She's really nice and i feel like we are getting along quite well. But the thing is that the way she does therapy is really different from what I've expected and from what I’ve seen in your channel. She never gives me homework or any tools to deal with my issues except that she allows me to send her texts during the week, that she'll read but won't always answer. I guess my question is how do i know if this type of therapy is right for me? I don't wanna switch to someone else because i really like my therapist but how do i know if she's helping me?
