Скачать или смотреть Confessions from the Couch: “I Hate Being Here”—What This Really Means in Therapy

🛑 “I hate being here.” It’s something more clients say than you might think—and it’s not a bad thing. Starting therapy can bring up discomfort, resistance, or even fear. But beneath that statement is usually something deeper: a desire for change, fear of vulnerability, or past experiences with being unheard.

💡 In this video, Dr. Gayle MacBride unpacks what clients often mean when they say “I hate being here” and why that honesty can actually be a powerful starting point in the therapeutic process.

What You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why resistance is a normal part of beginning therapy
✔️ What “I hate being here” might reveal about a client’s deeper needs
✔️ How to move forward when showing up feels hard—but necessary

🌱 Growth starts with honesty—even if it’s uncomfortable. If you’re willing to show up, even reluctantly, that’s already a courageous step.
