does anyone get that post therapy depression? I talked ab my past n everything n that sadness from having to feel it again is still lingering. N reflecting n thinking ab what my therapist recommend or said n applying it to those memories makes it even sadder. It’s in the past n everything’s better now but I guess it’s like poking at an old wound n it still being super sore. Therapy is cool tho it definitely made me feel validated which I think is something I really needed.

every week therapy makes me feel worse afterwards because I’m having to talk about things and why I’m feeling that way it’s not that it makes me worse just brings everything up that I need to talk about and stop suppressing. So with time and learning and getting things off your chest it should get better and if it doesn’t maybe bring it up to your therapist.

Im glad im not only one. Everyone says it helps to talk, but it honestly makes me worse afterwards. Then im thinking about it and its just more in my head. Not sure if i made any sense

I think maybe it means you are processing and dealing with the past so you can move forward with healing… the past won’t seem so scary anymore…just my thoughts!
