After seeing my therapist yesterday I have been real depressed.?
Answer:
You were feeling as good as you thought! Your issues are the same when you walked through the door as when you left her office. Yes she is doing the right thing by making you face them but you need a way to stay "happy" and grouned after you leave. Maybe try some meditation or yoga to help you grab control over your emotions and feel able to take on the world again. Keep smiling!
yeah, leave the therapist.

I think what has to change is you. You have to take what you learn and talk about and move it into your life. You have to invest in You. She can only go so far. It's up to you to make those changes in your life yourself.
After you have your sessions, a good thing to do is to have a little down time before you go back "into the world". Take a walk, sit in a park or go home and lay down. You have to think about the sessions and give yourself a little bit of space to think about everything that was discussed. It's the best way to get the value out of what you are doing in the sessions.
Good Luck.
It sounds like you might want to search around for a new therapist. I was lucky enough to have a program through my work called the EAP (employee assistance program). It provided me with a long list of names of qualified therapists, psychiatrists, and counselors in my area and then allowed me to go to any one of them up to three visits at no cost. If I didn't click with the first one (and I didn't) then I was permitted to go three times (again for free) to the next doctor on the list. I repeated this process two or three times until I finally found my perfect fit and I've been very happy with her ever since.
GOOD LUCK!
you don't tell us how long you've been in therapy, but i say stick with it. it works over time. have in mind that he/she doesn't have a magic wand.
hang in there.

Well being a therapist myself.i would tell you to talk to her about that.and also realize that it is your life and you have to be the one that faces it...you are the one who, no matter what, will be dealing with your issues. Your therapist is doing what she is suppose to do, get you to see things that are patterns in your life that should be changed so you may move beyond the issues.talk to her, tell her she pisses you off...maybe ya'll can deal with that. But don't make her the issue.look at the issues you asked her to help you with and focus energy there?!
