I have been in therapy for years. i had a difficult childhood and teenage years. my relationships haven't been great either. someone told me that my therapist is not good because a good therapist empowers you to start dealing with your issues on your own in some time. she is making me dependent on her. is this true? how to judge this situation?

Hey there Relying on your therapist for resolving your issues works in the beginning as you're learning to build rapport and navigate your problems, however, after a few sessions, a therapist would help you build coping strategies to help deal with the issues yourself and to build your resilience and tackle your problems better in the long run. A therapist would not want a client to get dependent on them, instead would want to make them independent enough to manage their situations better. Its okay for you to not want to continue your sessions, you can always get a second opinion and find a therapist that would suit your needs better.

it's true that therapy should empower you to develop coping skills and become more independent, the process can take time. It's normal to rely on your therapist for support as you work through your challenges. If you're unsure about your therapy progress, it might be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your therapist about your concerns. They can provide guidance and address any questions you have.

It's important to assess your therapeutic journey holistically. While therapy can empower you to develop coping skills and address issues independently, it's not uncommon to need ongoing support, especially after a difficult upbringing. Reflect on whether you're making progress and feeling supported in your growth. Discuss your concerns with your therapist openly to gain clarity on your therapeutic relationship.

Hence, it is necessary to include a balanced diet which comprises of fibre, protein, and good fats. -Fibre is needed for improving digestion and for keeping your gut healthy.There is a link in between your gut and brain , and hence, fibre is necessary. Include wholegrains, vegetables, fresh fruits, beans, lentils to the diet. - Protein is needed for functioning of various hormones,wear and tear of muscles, and for nourishing each cell in the body.Include beans, lentils, dairy and dairy products, lean meat, nuts, and seeds to the diet. - Omega 3 fatty acids rich foods can improve your mood and facilitate better brain functioning. Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado, olive oil are great sources of the same. - Include meditation, and yoga in your daily routine to combat stress. - Opt for a walk, and sleep well. Take care ✨
Balanced diet, rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, supports mental health. Include mood-boosting foods like omega-3s, magnesium, and zinc. Avoid excess caffeine, sugar, processed foods. Hydration and mindful eating help too.

My friends straight up don't listen to me when I'm venting or sharing my problems. They zone out, change the subject, or give shitty advice that shows they weren't even paying attention. It's pissing me off feeling dismissed like that by people who are supposed to be my girls. How do I get through to them and make them actually hear me out without invalidating how I feel?
Its better to stay with less friends then the friends who dont value your feelings, nevertheless, confrontation of how you feel can also help to either break off or bring you closer
Just go and have a straightforward conversation with them. Just vent out everything to them about how you have been feeling. If they are your true friends then they will definitely understand you.
