Is therapist saying unhelpful things to me?

recently in a stressed out state I realized I didn’t want to talk on the phone with/or see an ex boyfriend. It’s been 2 years since we’ve seen each other/hooked up. So I blocked him which I’d done a bit over a year ago but had called him about something in April so we’d been taking and he invited me to stay in November. This time was different as I felt he was like poison. so I told the therapist and the response was “that’s what you said last year.” However I had described it as a much darker feeling this time and felt something had really shifted. my old psychologist retired and I recall a time I thought I wanted to see this guy but changed my mind and was told “thank God you came to your senses” which was a better type of feedback for me. wondering do I just talk this out with the current therapistor find a different therapist?

My advice is you must move out of the country. Now.

So you want someone who will pat you on the head rather than challenge you?

From your story, it sounds like you are repeating things. You blocked him over a year ago. So what is "darker" and "shifted." It sounds like you are ready to block him again.

Therapists are supposed to challenge you to help you empower yourself to make helpful decisions. If someone is toxic and has been in the past, they’re most likely going to continue to be toxic.

This thread is so stupid that I'm blocking it.

Block the ex, delete the number from your phone and move on. Don't look back, again. Progress, don't regress, OP

I suggest you attend night school to learn basic capitalization and punctuation. Correct communication may bring you clarity of thought, which you sorely lack.

Let me use this shitty thread to ask some questions that are important to me:

- how do I block a thread?

- how do I quote, bold, and italicize here on DL?

- what does EST mean?

If I delete his number can’t he just call me again?

Locate the contact you want to block. Scroll to the bottom of the contact's info screen to touch “Block This Caller,” followed by “Block Contact.” Then, tap “Edit,” followed by “Delete Contact” to remove the person from your contacts.
