Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML

Your exhibiting signs of adolescent repressive behavior due to a controlling parent I hope that helps

Your Dad is a dishonest and selfish person. I feel for anyone who loves someone like that.

Why would you want to go to the rapist?

Well, at least you got a look at the shape of things to come. I suggest that you don't count on your father for too much in the future. Especially if what you need is not in his interests or convenient for him. Everyone deserve a better father than that but not everyone is cut out to be one. Count. On yourself in this life and drive on.

How long have you been going because if it has been a while and being happy all a sudden she might want to see you more just incase.

OP: Gas is very expensive. So are therapists. Also, people who get degrees in psychology tend to do so because they are very screwed up, and are trying to figure themselves out. I know this because I have a couple in my family, visited one myself (ultimately pointless), and had one who was teaching my psych 101 class admit as much. The point is, do you really want these people messing with your head? Trying writing your thoughts in a journal. It works just as well. Also, get your dad to buy you something you really want in exchange for quitting...

As someone who's been helped in a massive way by CBT... no, writing in a journal is not anywhere near as effective as certain therapies.

Sorry. Get someone else to take you. You are talking to someone to help you with whatever you need instead of doing something unhealthy so that is good.
