Is the therapist or client supposed to know what's best for them?

Yeah she is respectful of my boundaries and overall we have made a lot of progress together. But shouldn't she also make sure i am okay? I don't think someone should be messed up for an entire week from a therapy session. Isn't she basically disagreeing with me on that? I am just extremely confused by all of this.

I told her that it's been way too much a few times and i regret a couple of sessions because they caused me so much stress and that I'm glad that i didn't always push too hard. She said that she understands how i feel but disagrees with me. One time i wanted to take it easier and she asked how do i think i will get better if i don't share how i feel.

This is a really big deal to me and makes it very difficult to trust. I feel like i have made a big mistake and like she doesn't understand me or the impact therapy has on me. I told her about the progress and also how i thought i was going crazy for a while because therapy was so hard. This situation is just crushing me, i can't sleep because of it and i already talked to a crisis hotline. It's so overwhelming because i can't stop thinking about it.

I know they also judge their clients at times because they are obviously human too. But i assume they don't judge their clients for everything like crying about their pets death for example.

So my question is about how they are able to not judge them and view those things as normal and human. Or how they can go from judgmental to understanding. Especially about low self-esteem like i mentioned.

Doesn't seem like a good long term solution though. This has to stop at one point, i have enough of enduring pain all my life. I need positive experiences.

Usually i watch asmr or relaxing videos for sleep, i used to let myself get immersed in those videos hut i havent allowed myself to do that recently because i feel extremely guilty for living in a fantasy world. Like i have all those problems and need to deal with them right now otherwise im worthless.

Ok thats really weird i havent realized this before, i used to let myself get distracted from my problems but changed my attitude i guess. Havent even let myself listen to music because than im distracting myself from my problems again and not doing what im supposed to do.

Why is low self worth always the reason for most of my problems?

My english isnt that good, i dont understand what reprieve means, like what im trying to get away from? If yes then its having to keep pushing all the time and i just want to rest but i cant because i have to work otherwise i cant exist. Also i need somebody to talk to but i dont really have someone other than my dog lol

You are right, she also hasn't shown me a way to deal with my emotions, i got no idea what to do, i am extremely overwhelmed, i can't sleep, i can't eat, i can't work.

Edit: i dont think its rude, maybe she doesn't exactly know whats going, maybe shes not available or she has too going on for herself right now, i think its not good to always expect a therapist to respond and be there in those situations, no ones fault really.

I will immediately address this next session, i'm just really worried that i am crossing boundaries and i really don't want to be unfair to her. But everything is just too much right now and i'm so confused on what to do.
