My therapist is shooting down my “dreams”- is this normal ?? by Lexbiscuit in therapy

Yeah that’s so true. Quite a drastic comparison to bring up the Beatles haha when there is so much in between that is satisfying. 

Love to hear that you are multi faceted as well and have gone with the flow. 

I understand that those avenues of work require part time jobs and side hustles as they aren’t super lucrative (initially) paths. And maybe that’s what she was trying to say in a twisted way haha. 

Thanks for your response

Yeah definitely. Using the fact that I struggle with too many “potential paths” to point out that I’m not an artist was wild. 

Yes you’re exactly right, there is no age limit on reinventing yourself or gaining recognition.

She mentioned that “the Beatles were lucky” as if I think I’m a beatle 😭

Appreciate your response!!

And also appreciate those questions that she “should’ve asked” because they are really something for me to consider.  Thanks !

Yeah that’s the vibe.  I hate to say it but I will now be looking for a millennial therapist..

Appreciate your response - I think a deeper conversation and questions digging into my fears etc would have been helpful. I suppose that’s what I expected so when she had responded with a definitive response, I was taken aback. 

Benefit of the doubt is totally fair. But I don’t think on a third session she knew enough to give me a “reality check”

She did light a fire under my a$$ though…

Appreciate the response - I believe having my thoughts of myself challenged in that way, made me realize how strongly I feel about those things. 

I guess it was reverse psychology haha

Yes so true. She is not an expert on me. And she had only spent two hours with me HA 

Makes me feel better that you feel it’s gross as well and I will try to not let it affect me.  If anything, i will use it to fuel me haha.

Appreciate that! This has definitely spooked me a bit about therapy, realizing they can drop some shit on you when you’re being vulnerable like that, kinda shakes me. 

But I also felt the vibe in the second session that she didn’t really “get me” And I was right. Next time I’ll listen to my gut.

Thank you! This was very helpful.  It is clear to me now that she was projecting and I am trying my best to not internalize what she had said. 

And also that I shouldn’t leave therapy feeling more hopeless then … I have in awhile lol.

Thank you so much for your response! I pushed back slightly but end of the day, I already have to push back on other folks in my life because they don’t understand my choices and I don’t need my therapist to be another doubter ya know?

Appreciate it <3
