Do Therapists Get Annoyed With Their Patients? Ask Kati Anything ep. 82 | Kati Morton podcast

Do therapists get annoyed with their patients? Ask Kati Anything podcast ep. 82

1. Do therapists ever get annoyed when clients say “I don't know” a lot during sessions? I find myself saying I don't know to questions in sessions quite often, even if I do know, and I don't really know why I do that (for real don’t know this time). It just comes out and seems to be my go to phrase... 1:17

2. Do you ever get annoyed with your patients? I feel like I am annoying my therapist because I repeat judging myself and she keeps telling me that it's her job to sort through my thoughts and I should talk and not overthink it... 15:11

3. Do you have any advice on talking to therapists about their reactions to things said in therapy? Recently I disclosed to my therapist details about a specific instance of childhood sexual abuse that I have always found particularly shameful and had really been struggling with. At some point while I... 23:53

4. Slowly but surely I'm recovering from my burn-out. Now I'm wondering what I should do with my life. Something needs to change and I know for the sake of my own mental health that I need to quit my job. However, I have no idea what job I'd like to do instead. I can't seem to make up my... 35:15

5. Why do people not realize the abuse/toxic relationship/etc. they're in while it's happening? I didn't think I had been sexually assaulted until recently despite having an understanding of what sexual assault is. Do we put blinders on to protect ourselves? I feel like I can't trust my own judgement... 50:13

6. Would you consider being closeted a form of trauma? I came out at 18/19 after I was closeted for about 3 years. I'm now 24 and feel like these 3 years still affect me daily. I taught myself to hold myself back in so many ways, especially in what I say, in fear of "being found out". Even if the conversation isn't about sexuality or gender, it could be... 56:10

7. How do you get over past traumas? Once everything has been aired out in session I still don't understand how to deal with it or accept these facts. I still find myself replaying my past & it still makes me sad. How do you know if therapy is working for you? (COMMENT: And how can I get over my trauma, if it isolates me from people close to me and I can't talk to them about it? My mother sexually abused me... 1:03:13

8. How can I set boundaries, if I don’t even know where my boundaries are? Usually I feel like I don’t have boundaries. When someone looks at me I feel like they are already too close. And I can’t tell people not to look at me. Thank you for all you do. Have a lovely day. (COMMENT: I suck at setting boundaries too but similar to you when someone looks at me I feel like they know... 1:12:06

9. When therapists see clients with high suicide risks, what do you do to prevent them from carrying out the suicide plan? 1:22:41

10. I recently had a philosophy professor stand in front of the class and give a small lecture on self harm. we were talking about suicide and it’s relation to morals and that turned into a discussion on mutilation... 1:25:07
