Hi,
I can really relate to this. I have a jokey relationship with my Counsellor too and it does make it difficult to get across now bad you feel when all he seems to do is say 'it's no big deal' or 'your doing great' it's like he doesn't really see.
How often do you see your Counsellor? I see mine less than once a month. As my boyfriend pointed out; of course my counsellor isn't going to know me all that well if I only see him once a month.
It is possible to put up a bit of a facade in therapy, to put on a happy smile and pretend it's ok and some therapists can't see through this.
People have said to me 'Well change Counsellor's then' the thing is I know it's not that simple.
I don't know what your personality is like but I find it really hard to confront issues si I'd find it difficult to see my Counsellor and say 'Your not helping as much as I need you to'
There are some of my thoughts and a few things to think about but really I don't have any great advice or anything.
Don't apologise for posting there's no worries there *hugs*
