If you're consistently leaving therapy feeling dismissed or unheard, it might be worth telling your therapist how those responses are affecting you. A good therapist wants to know when something isn't helping. And if after talking about it you still don't feel supported, it's okay to look for a therapist whose approach is a better fit for you. You deserve to feel heard while also being challenged in ways that actually help you grow. I hope you find someone who can do both.
