Have to agree with the other anon. I'm sorry it sounded like an upsetting experience for you, but asking difficult questions is frequently appropriate in therapy. It's not supposed to be an easy process that never offers you any challenges. Presumably you're in therapy because you have some issues that need unpacking or you need to figure out how to manage something in your life. That's going to be tough, even with a good therapist.

I say this because... well, don't be like my aunt, who's estranged from all her children and "can't figure out why" even though she's been told that it's due to a negligent childhood where she noped out on being a parent and just wanted a couple of tiny BFFs/emotional support kids and then got sulky and childish when it turned out she'd birthed two human beings with their own minds and personalities. She's been in therapy off and on for 30+ years and changes therapists every few years because "they're not helping her".

Hint: It's because every time she's asked to acknowledge her own role and responsibility in how her life turned out, she feels bad, goes straight to Denial Town and then quits therapy because her therapist is "mean" and "doesn't understand her", i.e. asks difficult questions.

Thank you for sharing. This thread made me think about some things.

All in all I think that therapy is not a good fit for me because it is unpleasant and I have an avoidant personality.

I've tried it just before the pandemic so definitely not hopping like your aunt. Kudos to her for trying tho. All the terrible parents that I know of, and there are a few, don't acknowledge that they need any help from 'shrinks'. And 30+ years - that's persistance for you. I feel discouraged after only half a year.
