i have cbt psychotherapy for depression. I feel low/irritable alot of the time. Why do psychologists somehow personalise this depression/anger - and become unhelpful/grumpy back - rather than realising this is the illness /problem. They expect depressed/anxious people to be all bright and cheery before they are willing to help in my experience. A true paradox!!!!

I went to see my Doctor with serious problem (measurable by tests as well) and all I got is "is it real?"
If you want to get insulted, how much do you have to pay?
Don't pay the bill. Give him something to be grumpy about!

They are not professionals. The degree does not give them experience on how to handle their own therapy problems. They sometimes skip getting it and go straight for a degree to make them seem ok. These people you have to watch out confiding in. They can slap labels on you for any number of things, including 'difficult to work with', 'apprehensive', and the like. They can take all your money and waste your time and still not tell you a word of help or even to your face what the label they conclude is.
First it is not appropriate to go to people that you must seek out. They must have a motto of wanting to help you first. For some reason they got satuck on the idea that they are very important because they have a degree, when sometimes these people cannot even speak or do anything but sit there.
When you do not speak and wait for them to, they begin with questions, not stories and sharing of themselves-but questions. These questions are reverse psychology and make a person even more aware that the therapist does not truly want to help, but to decieve instead.
They do not give advice as much as their image in popular culture would like to portray. They are there to give labels, an opinion of the disorder it may sound like, and that's it. There currently is no law protecting citizens from this underground therapy treatment and from being frauded out of money for services that were not helpful, wanted, or needed. Go to the services that attract your attention, and not the cliche therapist. You know you will get most of the information you were looking for if you go where you want to.

Most of the time therapists do not do this, although they are human, and sometimes dealing with someone who has depression can be draining, especially when they do not follow advice. This does not make it o.k., but again they are human. It does however sound like an excellent topic to talk to your therapist about. How does it make you feel when they are depressed and sad all the time. You know, maybe they are doing it on purpose, so you can feel what others feel, or maybe it is not on purpose. You'll have to ask them.

Yeah, grumpy previous men are in basic terms humorous interior the action picture. in simple terms don't be grumpy. relish your lifestyles. Grumpy previous men are probable grumpy because of the fact their lives did no longer prove the way they needed them to, and now they are too previous to alter it ( or so as that they think of). make the main out of your lifestyles, in basic terms do issues that deliver you happiness, and additionally you will have no regrets and no reason to be grumpy once you get previous. Plus happiness has a actual result on the physique. Do you spot how maximum aged people who're grumpy frequently seem, SO previous? and the previous people who're in love with lifestyles ought to definitely be wrong for being 10 years youthful? there is not any accident there. in simple terms be satisfied. all of us dream of being grandparents and telling thoughts to the grandkids appropriate to the adventures we had whilst we've been youthful, and gazing their faces in awe whilst they combat to think of Grandma or Grandpa doing those issues. relish lifestyles, and additionally you will have no regrets, and additionally you would be a satisfied previous guy.

It's called mirroring.
In other words they're getting down to your level so they can bring you back up.
I always used to come out of my CBT sessions feeling worse than I did when I went in. It's your psyche being forced out of it's comfort zone. Stick with it after a few weeks you'll start to feel better.
An don't forget to work on your own at home. It's like two steps forward one step back. You'll get there eventually.
Good luck.

What can happen, have a counselling book and I've read in their that sometimes they pick up so much on how you're feeling that they show exactly the same symptons as the person they should be helping.
I'd suggest finding someone else, or telling them you feel that's what's happening.

I am so sorry you are feeling down.
I've trained in CBT and I don't feel that I mirror the emotions my clients present to me.
Maybe you need to consult with a different therapist.

May be they are just emulating you and trying to get you to respond in an emotional way so you can detach yourself from your anger and get rid of it
