Question

Why can you talk about things in therapy a million times but still feel the same

Answer 1

Maybe you have the wrong therapist.  Maybe you are always looking at things the same way.  Changing perspective on something often opens doors of understanding, but your therapist should be helping you to do this.  Maybe you are holding back.  Maybe you are talking about the wrong thing. ??? Could be lots of reasons.  Not to sound at all flip, but talk to your therapist about it.  

Answer 2

don't really know but that's why i canceled my last appt. because i felt like it was doing me no good i go every 2 weeks and when i go and vent i feel better but when i come back home and within the 2 weeks i feel like c**p so its pointless to me

Answer 3

Sounds like you're not learning active techniques to help yourself- just venting. You need to develop a collection of tools that you can use to move past your problems, and your therapist should be helping you with that. Unfortunately there are good therapists and not-so-good ones- you need to find a person who connects to you in the right way.

What you need are cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help you understand why you feel the way you do, and to help you move past those feelings to a more productive state of mind. You can find a lot of resources by Googling Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I bought a book titled Overcoming Depression by Paul Gilbert, which has helped me hugely- you don't need to actually be depressed to benefit. You can find that one on Amazon.

Answer 4

It usually means those "issues" you are discussing are so deep rooted in your mind, that its a real struggle to "let go"....keep going...you never know when the next session might be the one that gives you relief from your struggles....good luck

Answer 5

Maybe you are talking with your head, and not your heart.

Maybe you are not grasping where or how change is needed.

Maybe you aren't motivated in your gut

Maybe what you really want is a friend who will love you unconditionally.

Answer 6

I can tell you why.

Most of the trouble that comes to us and affect our mind, in which can cause  depression, it is because of some person did something bad to us in the spiritual way,  because of our own sins, or because of the need of forgiveness,  for some kind of hurts,  or by believing in whatever comes of our mind, wrong doing, negative thoughts, worries, fear, ect., and it is because they all have come and have done nest in our mind. Our mind is in our Soul that God gave us, and because God put it in us, is spiritual. Doctors study in the natural way, but they do not know how to  deal in the spiritual way. That is why they treat in the natural way by man's words and medication, but. It does not work like that. That is why after so many therapy, the person beging to feel the same symptoms again.

Only when a person became a true christian, born again in the spirit, can learn from God word of wisdom, and pray for others in a spiritual way then the other person can receive healing and be set free from depression. Why, because the word of the Lord God has to become spiritual in a person. The spiritual, works better inside an spiritual mind and can be set free of all burdens. The person needs prayer for that person to be set free by God. By listening to the word of the Lord, we can be set free, of any trouble and depression.  Because the spiritual goes with the spiritual. (John 1:12-13).

I was once in depression, it was awful. But God talk to me and I call on Him, and I rendered my life to Him and the depression was gone and since them my whole life was changed by God. Thanks to the Lord. I became a christian, born again, and I pray for the sick, because God call me to do it in His way.



I hope you understand this.

God bless you.
