Therapy Sessions

Tumbled into your room

Manipulated and controlled 

Told me lies

Gave me false hope

Crushed by your demands

Your words murdered me

Scared to enter your room

But forced in

I want to escape

I want to disappear

I ask

You refuse 

Breathing will fix my problems

You stated

But you see 

My anxiety doesn't give me the opportunity to breath

So breathing is impossible

So don't tell me to breath

Don't ask me for medications

When you only care about your paycheck

Listen when I tell my problems

Because you're missing my reasons

Don't tell me I need to breath more

Because that won't fix my anxiety

Your sessions terrify me the most...

But sadly my words don't matter to you

That can't be fixed

I'll just live with this anxiety of mine

I'll act that I'm getting better so I can leave that room

Locked the memories away

Hopefully, these are just nightmares...

Raw, brutal and articulate. See I can actually see your point of view on the Therapy. Some therapists are just like that. Controlling, demanding, not listening or actually care about the person who has come in for help. Sounds like you got one who was not suited to your needs. And was just going with the flow. Like you said for her paycheck. You need someone who is actually going to listen and care and understand. And be patient and kind. And talk to you like a human being and a person in general. And WORK with you to getting the help and support and working on your issues you need help with in therapy. Finding a better therapist or even show this dim with this poem. To prove they are not helping you at all. I had an experience like this was a psychiatric nurse who was supposed to help my husband with support with throat cancer. And all she did was piss us both off. And exactly the same as you felt manipulated and abused and used by her.
