I went to therapy once only in my life, only because my doctors thought I might become depressed after being diagnosed with a chronic illness. I could not stop laughing because the therapist frankly was a weirdo, so he decided that I was not depressed enough to receive therapy, which made me more ecstatic.

Mars, going to a therapist is like consulting a clairvoyant. It is all guess work which may not be true, so don't take to heart what others only speculate.

Yes, I've definitely felt worse after a therapy session. Sometimes I cry heavily after them. It may be that the session has brought to light something that you've been repressing, a defense mechanism has broke down or you've made a realization.

I don't know if this is good or bad. I'm guessing good because you're getting to the root of your problems.

yes, I have felt worse at times also. I don't know if you just started talking to this counseller, if so, you will have to see how it goes with them. It may have been a good thing that you got it out what was bothering you. Now it's out and over time you will know more how to deal with your situation. It sounds like what was bothering you and got out, was very painful. I hope it all goes well with your therapy

It is very possible to feel worse depending what you are dealing with. I typically feel better however with deeper stuff I have felt worse with therapy.

Three of my councelor, doctor. Makes me angry. Yes, seeing therapists can make one feel worse. Because doctors are not God.

Perhaps sometimes it's better to feel bad, indicating your confronting the tough issues.

I have at times felt bad after therapy session most of the time due to the guilt and shame I feel afterwards. I suggest you notify your therapist that after the therapy you felt a certain way. Be honest to the therapist and let them know of any changes. These things happen and it is a normal side effect of the bringing up of trauma or events. My suggestion, talk to your therapist and let them know what you felt, reflect and ask yourself, Why am I feeling this way? Do I feel ashamed? Useless? Unworthy? Self pity? Try to be aware.

I pretty much always feel worse at first. Hang in, it gets better!
