I would just basically ignore the advice although it's not bad advice. I just didn't have the energy to do it. But the repetition of what it takes to have a healthy lifestyle didn't hurt.
A therapist is not going to tell you that you are "wasting their time."
If you can afford to go, then keep going. After a while, if your therapist can't get through to you then I would suggest finding another therapist who can get some results.
(But also I'm on medication management with a psychiatrist to work on my problems.)
An ethical therapist would never tell you they don't want to see you. If they did, they would be abandoning you and harming you. If you recognize you are too depressed to do anything, then maybe you need to see a psychiatrist alongside your therapist. The two usually go hand in hand in the treatment of mood disorders. Depression is debilitating enough to take all of your energy away and land you in bed under the covers with no motivation. In this case, an antidepressant can lift that fogginess in your head and give you energy to get up and work at getting better. Don't give up on yourself. This is all temporary.
Then its time to find a new doctor, If you dont get what you need then move on and find what you need!
