Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

[BloomInWinter]

T. - So, what went well this past week?

M. - Everything!

"You're going to be alright."
........
me thinking: 'are you saying that to reassure me or yourself?'

T: I know that life is difficult right now.

Me: Difficult? Are you kidding? Geting out of bed on a cold morning is difficult. Figuring out the crossword in the newspaper is difficult. You know that outrage you feel when I acknowledge that the things that were done to me in childhood were "wrong"? Well, that's how I feel when you describe my current life as "difficult"! Can we both please quit with the ridiculous understatements and start calling a spade a f***'ing shovel!!

"OMG, Hello? Anyone in there!?" (me shaking the therapist)

 

[Nighthawk]

M: I'm tiered of trying
T: Can you at least promise to try for this hour.
M: Would I have bothered walking through the door if I was not going to try in here:eek:

Geesh,
This thread is the perfect reason why talk therapy is an epic fail.

Do you all really get much out of these therapists?!?

I have no regrets from switching away from talk therapy... I really don't know how anyone heals with the likes of these incompetents!

my first t: <half to himself> You really are pretty high-functioning.

me: (translating) which means you don't really think you can help me.

I quit with the NHS talk therapies. The last one I had told me the first week that she couldn't help me. She was the only one honest enough. I now see a private trauma therapist who does EMDR amongst other things and it has made an amazing difference!

I have both a pyschoanalysis T and a trauma T and love both of them. Talk therapy definitely could not fully address the PTSD, no doubt about it, but it is great in combination with the emdr I do with my
trauma T. If I could only see one of them though, I would choose my trauma T hands down.

T: So, I'll see you next week?
M: No. I don't think so, your fired.

 

[nie]

T: How does that make you feel?
M: I don't really know how to put it in words. If I knew that I wouldn't need you!

 

[Srain]

Will that be cash or check?
