    Triggered in session due to therapist behavior

    I feel that she should have contacted you and explained that she had to take a course of medication (Steroids) and given their possible side effects (surely her doctor would have told her something of this), she would need to reschedule your appointment. It does sound like it was an honest...

    Undiagnosed Is anybody anhedonic from C-PTSD?

    Absolutely disgusting behavior. I am really sorry to hear that you had to experience such a traumatic event.

    Exploring Erik Erikson's Childhood Stages for Self-Reflection

    I found a copy that is being sold by a bookseller located in Ireland. I am interested in the Lifespan and the developmental aspect during this period of growth. Your post reignited my interest and enthusiasm again. Glad that you were able to secure a copy.

    Exploring Erik Erikson's Childhood Stages for Self-Reflection

    Have you tried Abebooks.com ? I will let you know if I can locate a copy for you. There is an inexpensive copy on the Abebooks site and in various editions. These early editions may be just as good as often editions do not alter the main text (but sometimes they do)

    I just clicked on Friday’s links and Amazon had Betk’s book for far less than $700. They are listing the hard cover for $82

    my dreams are dying a slow death

    It can be extremely hard to find the life that we want or maybe need. Our past does come into focus here but l believe that we can slowly alter our response to the past. I always dreamed of having a partner who l could be with forever. Then I met such a person and was with them for 30 years...

    What's your favorite way to save money?

    I ended up writing out a budget for myself and I find that I am sticking to it. Instead of buying things on line, I go to a shop instead and pay either cash (in full) or do a lay away, paying the installments off in cash and only from any extra money (after rent, food and bills). I do...

    As mentioned in my previous post to this topic (16 August 2024), I wondered what the APA Guidelines would be in relation to your experience. The following is what I found - I also came cross the following item - Just sharing this is case information in case you feel responsible for your...

    I think Im gonna kill myself. I know exactly how to do it

    I can hear your fear but maybe try and talk to your mind / your memories, telling them that you are no longer living them and that they are only now memories and memories lie in the past. The events of the past are haunting you but those events happened - in the past. Maybe reliving them - in...

    I’m in shock with my therapist !

    Thoroughly agree that his own actions are wrong. Even if an agreed boundary is broken, the professional thing to do is to revisit the agreement. What he did has the potential to harm a client and the client’s health is the first priority. Maybe you could email him (if you feel able to) and...

    What's your favorite way to save money?

    Hi Rose White, yes - it is Jello. As I live in Australia, we call Jello by the name Jelly, whereas I believe in the US, Jelly refers to Jam It can al be so confusing, can it not? Hope this helps.

    What's your favorite way to save money?

    I buy generic brands of spaghetti (which I love) and place the food on toast without butter / margarine. If I make soup, I likewise never put butter / margarine on it. Any stale bread I will keep to put in soup or as a base for jelly crystals. When growing up, if we had no breakfast cereal, my...

    I think Im gonna kill myself. I know exactly how to do it

    I hear your words, your pain, frustration, loneliness and deep sense of hopelessness as I too have thought the same, whilst also experiencing similar feelings. But I also know that there are many, many people who do care for others and the pain they are going through. When we find ourselves...

    Other Fast Grounding Method

    I like this quote by Nouwen (though I did find his book on The Wounded Healer quite difficult to appreciate). Aloofness or Indifference is the real problem behind a lot of problems as people often seemingly do not care and when we feel unloved, we are apt to become isolated more so in our...
