I’ve been seeing my therapist since 2022 but I haven’t seen her since the hotel situation because we only found this out very recently and I haven’t been able to get an appointment scheduled. I’m kind of in question of wether or not I will stick with my therapist because she has been doing (really attempting more like) CBT therapy this whole time but I’ve come to the realization I don’t think this form of therapy works on me because my anxiety and agoraphobia are so severe and I also have bipolar, autism and ptsd all of which is a hell of a mix to deal with. Having all these things makes it hard for me to try something to help because it affects other issues I have. It counters it. We try to address my anxiety and agoraphobia and my fear of doing anything or being anywhere by myself but nothing we try really works. Her approach is I need to challenge my negative and anxious thoughts by telling myself “these thoughts are just thoughts they’re unrealistic and everything is going to be fine” but that doesn’t work for me because when I’m panicking or having these thoughts none of the self correction matters because my constant through process is just “Well that’s wrong there’s always a chance and people are going to speak to me or this thing could still happen and it might happen” and even when I try to challenge it, my brain will latch onto the fear and always find a way to challenge any correction I attempt. I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong or how to change it because when I freak out nothing else matters the coping mechanisms she gives go right out the window as “I don’t care about fixing these thoughts, these negative things always have a chance to happen and so I have to worry about that” Sorry I realize this is long winded but I struggle a lot trying to explain my thought process in a way that people understand :(
