Some people find talking to someone non-judgemental and trained on uncovering past trauma to be helpful.

It isn't for everyone. Personally (abusive alcoholic father) I can't think of anything worse and it's been intensely horrible even discussing it with mental health nurses. For me, bring on the medication to wipe that shit from my mind 99% of the time.

You don't say why you're seeking therapy, but I would guess either your personality type isn't one that is suited to therapy, or whatever you're seeking therapy for isn't something easily solved by therapy. It's important to remember the brain is hugely complex especially when it comes to past trauma, and sometimes you will need medical help/medicine rather than/in addition to talking therapies, especially for intrusive thoughts, depression etc. Remember, if you only have a hammer then everything is a nail, and if you're a therapist you're likely to think therapy can solve more than it actually can, just like doctors think medical interventions can solve more than they can. The reality is somewhere in the middle.

Either way, I hope you get it sorted.
