Therapists can't be "bashed", their egos are too strong. I wish you good progress in your work....

I say don't worry, just be clear that you don't want to feel anything and you will not. It's standard procedure in most places to administer "twilight" anesthetic which will put you out and clueless as to what happened. The bed is comfortable and a cozy warm blanket holds you before you go in...

There is online counseling too. You can pick your therapist and switch if it isn't working. I know enough about this stuff to tell you this...many therapists act as if their one (often shortsighted) approach is gospel and you are wrong for not believing it. Does this ever remind you of what many...

Every therapist has a unique approach. Speaking for myself I would always reevaluate my need to continue with someone if they were hurting me. And free speech prohibitions are a real red-flag in MY world. My advice is to listen carefully to your own gut feeling and then hit the therapist...

This thread has ended Thank you all for the input.

I just said it succinctly out of space and privacy consideration. But thanks for understanding.

This work will have to be done with a very skilled personal therapist and I might/might not be included. The communication disorder at work here will not be covered in a one-size- fits-all "class". This is not an academic OR a pop psychology issue. I also need to stop this "therapy/education...

Thank you for your interesting suggestion. I read a lot in this field to which you refer but try to stay away from the popular rags. That said, I am on to this guy. I needed to stay here for financial reasons but now planning to move away.

I will research those classes but this is Oklahoma. Will also see if I can influence the development of such classes, but as a rank layperson it's a crap shoot who will listen to me.. good point though. Some alternative colleges might be interested in things like this, but this is stark...

Hey Grit, thanks for the really nice reply. I love your toothy smiley. I think this might shake out all right cause the other person promised he would do his best to get in himself and the rest I will go along with. I can get someone else with her recommendation if she starts helping him. Its...

Regarding the idea of "lost connections"...(and I haven't read the book yet so I might be completely wrong here)... I I think that is exactly what has happened in our "society". Connections are being ripped apart and not just "lost". The greatest human needs are met by COMMUNITY and personal...

actually I did mention that beforehand without harping on it. OK your advice is sound and I guess I will keep looking. TY... Too many experiences like this MIGHT give me a case of rabies. LOL! It is so off putting...to always notice these people more worried about YOU maybe hurting THEM than...

I 'm the good old US of A, OK to be specific.

...peculiar and ugly things can happen. I lost a potential new therapist because of what her receptionist did. I have also seen this problem in other therapist's offices. The receptionist is hired for being friendly and accommodating and collecting paperwork. BUT often the client doesn't see the...
