I’m seeing this therapist for 5 months now and I thought he was great until our last session. For some context, I have been in a difficult situation for years. Last time we were talking about how fear is holding me back and he said that personally he doesn’t care if I stay in this situation but that I seem to care otherwise I wouldn’t be in therapy.

I know that my therapist isn’t my friend and I don’t see him like that either but I feel hurt. If he doesn’t care that I stay in a situation that cause me a lot of pain then it means that he doesn’t care about my well-being. How is he supposed to help me then if he doesn’t care?

Is it normal for me to feel hurt? How would you feel if your therapist told you that? Idk what to do now
