Psychological Councelling
It gets really difficult for me to open up to the therapist . After the therapy session I over analyse ever sentence I said and that makes me feel even more sad/embarassed/guilty/angry/etc . I've changed 5 therapists till now each after 2-3 sessions. Mental councelling is getting really frustrating for me now because to every new therapist I have to repeat the same things and then i again end up not continuing therapy. What should I do . Please help.

Every therapist is different. Take your time to open up and be patient with the therapist as well as yourself. Trust and bonding a rapport with your therapist will work beneficiary for both . Therapist don't judge . I am extremely non judgmental with my clients ,thus they share everything very comfortably. Thus you won't have after thoughts about your words you used or what you shared during the session.

Its true that every counsellor has their own potential and skills and with every therapist you might experience something new or different. To make the counselling work you need to Trust the process and relationship you have with your therapist. In hypnotherapy and mindfulness therapy there is very less need of talking.

Hi, I understand it can get frustrating and exhausting talking about the same things over and over again. Sorry that you are currently going through this, but it is also great that you are not giving up in taking care of yourself. A Counselor-client FIT is very important and it is totally okay to contact another therapist, if you do not feel completely heard/ seen/ understood/ accepted by the earlier counselor. However, therapy yields results only when there is consistency and effort. In case you feel that there is a therapist who GETS you, try to have more sessions with them. The most important part of psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship you develop. And that is what truly helps a person heal and grow. Try to remind yourself of why you started therapy each time you want to discontinue. Making changes is not easy, at least initially but it gets better with time. Try to accept yourself completely. Embrace your emotions and feel your feelings. If you judge yourself, you will feel that another person is also judging you. Whereas therapists are trained to listen and help without any bias or judgment. You can ask yourself: 1. Why do I want to go to therapy 2. What are my needs and goals from therapy 3. What are some things I look for in a therapist 4. What all do I want to share with my therapist 5. How can I trust the process and be more patient with myself Feel free to try guided meditation and deep breathing exercises (Youtube has examples). Journaling your inner feelings, spending time in the sun and having a consistent sleep-wake schedule also help. For daily mental health tips and insights, follow @TherapywithShaurya on Instagram. Hope this helps, take good care.

Hi Trust is essential to establishing a good connection with your therapist. Without trust, your therapy may never be as effective as you hope for.

Finding the right therapist will probably take some time and work, but it’s worth the effort. The connection you have with your therapist is essential. You need someone who you can trust—someone you feel comfortable talking to about difficult subjects and intimate secrets, someone who will be a partner in your recovery. Therapy won’t be effective unless you have this bond, so take some time at the beginning to find the right person. It’s okay to shop around and ask questions when interviewing potential therapists.

Hi... Psychotherapy works on a longer plane of time. You can't get over your issues in 2-3 sessions. Stick to one therapist for 15-20 sessions. It takes time to build rapport between client and therapist. Initial sessions are mainly rapport building sessions. Try to understand this, it is a process and not the content. There is nothing that the therapist will tell you and all your problems will vanish. But when you under go this process of psychotherapy, then eventually you get a better understanding of your issues and also develop the necessary skills and strength to deal with them. Therapeutic relationship is also a relationship which grows with time. You can't expect everything to happen at the first day itself, be it therapeutic or personal relationship.
Next Steps
Stick to one Therapist for 15-20 Sessions.

Finding the right therapist unfortunately takes time. Yet at the same time it is important to open up about your worries and your pattern of over analyzing after the therapy session with your therapist. What you would first need to work on in therapy would be in building a safe, open, and comfortable working relationship with your therapist. Only then will you be able to move onto resolving and working on the issues that actually brought you into therapy. 
Next Steps
You would have to address with your therapist what is the reason behind the need to over analyze what you shared - for example, is there a certain way the therapist responds that triggers the thought process in you or are you able to trust them, are feeling understood and heard by them? Or are you feeling judged by them. It could be anything. A lot of the things come into play in the therapy room. Discuss this in depth with your therapist.
Health Tips
For therapy to work, there has to be a trusting relationship between the client and the therapist. there has to be good comfortable rapport. And you as a client should feel heard and understood by them.
