How can I cope with feelings of guilt during therapy?

I've been feeling a lot of guilt during my therapy sessions. How can I cope with it?

It's common to feel guilt in therapy. Can you share what specifically triggers these feelings for you?

I often feel guilty for taking up my therapist's time or for not making progress.

It's important to remember that your feelings are valid. Therapy is a space for you to explore these emotions without judgment.

But I still feel like I shouldn't burden my therapist.

Your therapist is there to support you, and it's their job to help you work through these feelings. It's okay to express them.

How can I communicate this guilt to my therapist?

You can start by saying something like, 'I've been feeling guilty about our sessions, and I want to talk about it.' This opens the door for discussion.
