Maybe he means therapy is not perfect. It might not solve you problems

what does that mean

Maybe they want you to do more in person therapy? I’m sorry your therapist said that to you. A friend of mine seems to like the online therapy, I want to try it but it’s very expensive so I’ve been holding off

It probably means that you may need to do some work on your own in addition to therapy to overcome the effects of trauma. Most of the time, therapy alone is not enough to heal. It may take a combination of therapy, meds, lots of self-care, coping tools, etc.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

Yes, your therapist was correct in telling you that you might not heal your trauma.

It's a multiple task project and requires a lot of work to figure out what works, what brings comfort, and what gives you the calm to do clear headed decision making.

Best wishes as you find your better balance.

Again, we can only guess, but my guess is that she is saying remote therapy is not for everyone. I know I need to get up close and personal with my own therapy, complete with indecently exposed facial expressions and lips I can read in real time.

Well mask it all! ! !

Is it possible for you to reach out to your therapist to ask clarifying questions?
I think it would be great for you to send an email, pen down your thoughts and allow the therapist to explain what he/she meant.
You could say: I have been thinking about the things discussed in our recent session. One thing that stood out was your comment on...
I am not sure I understand what you mean by this. Can you expalin further?
My thought is, they will respond and expain their thinking.

Mindfulness1 took my answer!! lol..when you don't understand something your therapist says--ask them to tell you exactly what they mean. Don't be afraid to ask questions or tell them you don't understand. I don't think I would have understood that comment without some detail either!

I agree with previous posters .It is ok to ask for clarification if you are not sure what she meant. Perhaps she is being too technical or indirect. My interpretation is that virtual sessions are not as great as in person sessions. With virtual sessions a lot is missed and the connection could be less.I had in person session and chose to go virtual due to safety.It is more convinent , but not the same. That is just me though.

Some traumas can be helped through coping skills, but not cured completely. There will always be triggers.

ok what do u think about my therapist

For all the times you've asked that, you still haven't told us what **you** think of your therapist. You are the one who has actually met her/him.

What do U think?

i think my therapist is a nice person and she is very understanding of me

Do you feel welcome to question her, directly? It is fair practice to question directly, deeply and often.

I agree with arfie on questioning her. Self advocacy means speaking up for yourself. If you are comfortable expressing your thoughts, wants and needs with her and she is receptive, you bring up your concern.

You didnt mention the frequency of your sessions. If you see her regularly/weekly you could wait and discuss it then. If youre not seeing her soon but want to resolve the issue you could email.

My therapist indicated that I am free to reach out. I hope yours is just as understanding.
