Hello all,
I have just started seeing a new counsellor and she is making me worse. I have GAD and OCD (obsessive thoughts) which ultimately lead to depression. In my first session she was really pushy and kept going on about how many mistakes I'd made. me, being me, has, of course, fixated on this and has left me very anxious and obsessive about my life - in particular my immediate family (husband and parents). Up until my first session with her, I had NEVER doubted anything like my husband in my life - my problems have always been with myself and low self esteem. Since then I've been gradually getting worse and obsessing about things subsequently making myself really scared that all these thoughts must be true [which I don't want them to be].
I've never had a counsellor who makes me feel like this, and in my (albeit) limited experience I was under the impression that counselling should be positive.
Can anyone help me out? Am I right?
