True...she's around my age..which is young. so she is facebook generation anyway....

Thanks Orange phone. Hugs back. I didn't snoop on her fb but while I didn't look to see has she a linkedin,,,I sure was curious about her educational background lol!! So yes, curiosity is natural :) Hopefully she isnt too spooked by my friend lol!

I hope she isn't. I like her so much. She is the first therapist I have had who is super intelligent. I know that sounds bad...but its what I value in a therapist so I don't want to lose her.

I understand what you are saying and agree with most of it. But I guess the issue here is the worry she won't believe me that I didn't creep her social media. My friend didn't get her professional info. She went through facebook. It's just a mess. I don't even know her facebook!. :( I am sure...

True....she might be just concerned I guess

I appreciate her so much, even though there was no need to protect me. I'm blessed to have her and I love her. I am just super worried about the therapy. I feel the convo will be about boundaries not why my friend was worried. I don't disagree with you though, overreacting is likley. High...

I am in panic stations. I was feeling really low a few nights ago and messaged my friend but she was a bit drunk and wasn't supportive which didn't bother me too much. I just said I was going to sleep and hugged her good night (in text format) Next morning I went to college. For most of the day...

I think it would be ok to tell your child santa is real if you would like to. I agree with mytime about santa really being about the spirit of christmas rather than a physical person. It truely captures what christmas is really about. As long as santa isnt about getting stuff, its a wonderful...

Hey @bellbird I'm sorry you've been through such an awful time. <3 Di it take you a while to be able to tell your counsellor about those dreams? I have been seeing mine 10 months and have yet to even tell her about the trauma in detail, so the dreams are still too raw to touch. I'm glad talking...

I keep having nightmares about being sexually attacked. I do have sexual trauma from when I was 13 but these dreams don't really resemble the actual trauma. Is this a thing? To have dreams of being forced in ways that don't really represent the trauma visually if you get my meaning? The common...

My T gives her tips in things she tells me rather than tasks to do: -You are a person - Your feelings are valid - She taught me this trick to ease anxiety where she has me tap pressure points under my eyes. It actually works. - To be patient because it might take up to a year before I learn to...

Welcome Red! Hope you like it here

I thought I would start a positive thread:) What does your T do that you appreciate? I appreicate my T because she listens to me. She doesn't have any preconceived ideas of how anything should be and treats me and I'm assuming all her other clients as unique. She isn't afraid to show her own...
