Trouble with mom.

0

Basically, my mom forced me into therapy and the only way she could get me to go is if she bought me something and I feel manipulated and today I felt some symptoms of my antianxiety drugs not working and she didn’t even care at therapy today and I’m really pissed at her. What should I do?

I would say use the therapy to your advantage. The therapist is there to help you, even if you were forced into it. I know it's not always the wisest thing to do, but if your mom isn't involved in the therapy already, maybe ask the therapist to invite her in next time. Use the therapist as a third party to help keep things calm, but allow you to get things out. Tell your mom exactly how you feel, don't hold back. Tell her that you are angry with her and exactly why. I know it sounds like a bunch of psychobabble but it's true that honesty is the best policy.

I understand that you're feeling ignored right now. If you have to go to therapy anyways, try using that time as an opportunity to talk about your concerns about your medication. What is it that makes you reluctant to go therapy? Maybe discuss this with her, at least when you're feeling ready enough. Feel free to message me.
