This article raises an interesting issue about assertiveness. Having difficulties sharing true feelings or saying "no" may avoid discomfort in the short term but can lead to resentment or an increase in stress. How is your own level of assertiveness?
A tough topic for parents to handle - as noted in the article, providing empathy vs. solutions can be a valuable approach.
An excellent initiative!
The bottom line for me is this: strive for completely open communication about your feelings with your therapist. If there is a stumbling block in the therapeutic relationship, the two of you can work together on resolving it, or at least determine if your needs might be better met by another professional.
Two days left! :-)
It's unfortunate, but a stigma is still attached to mental health issues and seeking help for them. Good to see more and more public figures speaking out about their struggles and the importance of getting the proper care. People do not have to suffer in silence. It is not a weakness of character or personality to have a mental illness and these illnesses can be treated.
Great initiative!
