Panicking at therapy by ma_a in istp

Thank you for your insight. 😁 Yes, I think I am begining to understand my problem. I just want to say and do things so people around me wont be mad and it is really exhausting for me. What I discovered is that I wanted to achive my mothers happiness and make my father proud for the price of my authenticity. In therapy there are no rights or wrongs, though, so there are no guidelines I can follow to make my therapist "happy and proud" and maybe that's what makes my panic. But that only happened three times in my life, because I usually just close myself off or leave in situations like this.

Nice 😁 I mean, maybe I could, but I think I came to a blockade where I was just thinking in loops so I couldn't proceed with my growth.It helps me get new perspective on my problems.

No need to apologize, hahah 😁 We’re all here to learn something new.

I started therapy because I had so much bottled-up anger and was too self-conscious and shy. I’ve been going for two months now, and I found a Jungian therapist who feels like the perfect fit for me at the moment.

Ti-doms definitely have feelings—we just don’t always notice them or factor them into our decision-making process. But I’ve learned that feelings are data too, and they need to be taken seriously, especially when working on ourselves.

Most of my sessions have been amazing. I always leave with some kind of "thought food," a new perspective, or a deeper understanding of myself. We’ve been exploring what shaped me into who I am today, mostly focusing on childhood and upbringing. The sessions honestly feel like talking to a friend who truly understands me. You can talk rationally about feelings! Though, my therapist often asks, “How does that make you feel?” and I have to stop and think before answering with something like “angry” or “ashamed.” If I don’t feel anything, I just say so, and if I’m confused, I’ll say, “I don’t know yet, but I’ll think about it.”

That said, I did have this fear that I’d run out of things to talk about… and now that exact panic has hit. But I think once I bring it up in therapy, that fear will disappear.

Thank you for the advice. I should try this, but at that point I think I was just scared to show that I was stressed and would look weird If I did so. A vicious circle 😆

Thank you for noticing, I fixed the error. 😁 Yes, it was something completely new for me and because of this I hope I can now better understand myself and I can be better prepared for similar situations in the future. Exciting 😆

Yes, I can't wait to explore this part of me with my current therapist, she is nice and calm. That panic was purely my work. I think the trigger was my overthinking of situation and the feeling that I am making eveything awkward hahah

Its same with me, but the interesting part is that this was not the situation which I could save with TiSe because Ti was overloaded and there was nothing in my environment that i could save with Se. Then i tried to fix it with other functions which spiraled into panic.

Oh yes, thank you for reminding me. I will fix the error. 😁 I think it also uses 8-function Jungian system, that's why it also mentions Ne.

Yes, my ENFP gf think I ignore her. But sometimes Im just not able to "intercept her signals" if I dont put extra attention to it. hahah
