You know the counselors, therapists, and doctors can be hard to deal with. Many of us have felt exactly as you described so we do understand. What happened there that you feel so bad? Was it because you addressed issues? Just trying to get a clearer picture. Sometimes some get way out in left field and cause upset which is not good, or most of the time address issues which is good in the end... Just feels horrible now.

Have you been taught and practiced coping skills for recovering after sessions? What sort of things do you do?

This is thinking in absolutes. As seems to be the forum theme "black and white" thinking. You are telling yourself something that is simply untrue. Your feelings do evolve and change. This does get better. Yes, we all still have low points but they really do come less often and with less severity because the further you advance in helpful therapy the better you get at knowing the new you and accepting it. Your thinking styles will evolve... And how you think about certain things really do impact how you feel mentally, emotionally, and yes, even physically as much of it is tied into one another.

You are not alone. I am listening now.
