I find it very challenging to be in therapy while also having to juggle many other things in my life such as being a college student (exams, assignments, classes etc), dating, making time for friends, and family, working, and other things as well. I love therapy and really value it however, it takes so much emotional and physical energy from me…Read More

Hi openminded,
I’m not a therapist but I will share what I know from experiences. The therapy for emotional neglect is seeing a therapist who is trauma informed where hopefully he/she will help you process what your childhood was like and how the emotional neglect affected you. Also going to a therapist who uses IFS (internal family systems) c…Read More

I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels like this. It really helps to know others struggle with the same thing. Thank you for sharing.
@melissa I do the same thing where I tell myself enough and I don’t need her but then shut her out all together.

How do I not make myself be emotionally dependent to therapy and my therapist? I feel very attached and dependent to my therapist. When we can’t meet one week, it’s like the end of the world for me and it’s extremely hard for me, but I don’t want it to be like that. It feels like I can’t live without my therapist. I want to be able to be ok when w…Read More

Hey Melissa,
That’s so interesting. I guess it came up as a notification for you for this reason.
I tried the advice you gave me to write down all the things I want to talk about and then gave it to my therapist to read. After doing that I felt so much better leaving the session because I knew she at least knew what was on my mind and what I’m…Read More

Hope replied to the topic Feeling of loneliness and sadness after leaving therapy session… in the forum Something else? Post here!
Hi,
I also feel sad and lonely after leaving my sessions many times. One thing that my therapist told me to do is to remind my younger self how old I am now and that I am capable of taking care of myself. I place my hands on my heart and speak to my younger self reminding her of where I am now. Maybe you can try that, and it might help. Of…Read More

I have a very hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. I think it’s because of anxiety and stress and it’s really affecting the quality of my life. Does anyone have any recommendations or advice about what I can do please?

I experience these exact same feelings too before every session.
