Instant Family. Loved it!!

Hi, Just want to tell you that my therapist never returned my call when I was hospitalized. Meanwhile me friend's therapist will visit her when on the psych ward. I'm glad you will have an appointment on Saturday.

Do you know where she lives and show up at her house to look in the windows? Do you show up at places where you will run into her, repeat? Do you harass her with phone calls or send threats in the mail? This is what stalking is. Googling her is a way to find out things about her. It is a way...

Hi, I found this website to be very helpful. www.neurosymptoms.org It is about dissociative/functional neurological problems. You are not alone. The author calls dissociative seizures "drop attacks." Blackouts/Attacks - neurosymptoms.org Hope this helps.

Guess what? I did it. I brought up the topic last session and then shut down. It is a start. I guess going slow is the only way to go. Mostly she stared at me the whole time. Awkward!! She asked a few questions I did not want to answer. She drops hints all the time so I know she is trying to...

He is on your side, Moo, and he would want you to talk about it with him.

Hi, please be kind to yourself and remember to breathe. Try listening to music and to do other calming activities. Internal peace does not happen over night. It takes time It is hard. I hear you.Try to take care of yourselves as best as possible.I like the DID website called discussing...

She: -is able to see me as me -remembers things we have said -keeps the time safe for us -does not reprimand -does not control the conversation -hears everyword we say -is okay with big feelings -has a strong understanding of our issues -paces sessions well -is genuine -never raises her voice...

So I have plenty of conversations with my therapist that I don't remember having but i can't bring myself to ask about it and anytime I bring up the subject of dissociation she changes the topic. It feels like I think something and then she says what I am thinking. Or she says something and...

Yes, I crawl into bed after therapy. I make sure to pull the covers over my head to hide.

ZooGal, is there a meet-up group in your area? Perhaps you can start your own nature group?

Interesting how this was brought up now. I just signed up for group eco-therapy. My prescreen "interview" is next Monday. I'm kind of nervous. I don't know what to expect. What might my goals be? What do I want to get out of it?

I did poorly in visual-motor areas and excelled in non-verbal analytical reasoning. Good at spatial skills...they mentioned being a plumber (LOL) but my hands are not very good. Care to share what is happening with you? Sorry to hear you are in crisis. I wish you some relief. If you have any...

Hi, yes I got one because I had neurosurgery and wanted to see if I had any deficits. Mostly it was for vocational reasons. I was very lucky. It was funded by the "employment supports" of the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) Did it help? No not really. I was given a job coach who got...

Oh how I can relate. My brain does not want to do anything simple or complex. I feel retarded and people do wonder about me. I even had a neuropsych evaluation and they said it is just anxiety, but I know it is more than that.

I pay for psychotherapy and feel I get much better treatment. It is long-term and goes at my slow speed over many years. Agency help is usually time limited with less experienced therapists. I'm in Ontario also. My psychiatrist is payed for by the province. I only get 20 minutes with him.

Saying this t is not good with trauma, because you don't like how she handled things, is kinda cruel to me. Also, I strongly agree with Eve.

What an awesome group of people! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. It helps to know I am not alone with my thoughts. Peer support rocks.

Hi Suzetig, I have known her a long time and she is always attentive in session. She has helped me in many ways over the years esp. with the dissociation. I fear that she is treating me badly because I've done something wrong. That can't be true. Sigh. Time for me to move on to another person.

Wow. I hear you loud and clear. Thank you for the clarity. I will interview another therapist soon. It is hard to break away.

Hi all, It has been a year and there is still no consistency. She will change, cancel, or shift 1/4 to 1/3 of the appointments we have together. Nothing happens when she misses a session, but when I do then I pay for the session. Once Skype has not worked on my end. She wrote and said "You...

Can you get a second opinion from a different psychiatrist? I get psychotic episodes and I dissociate. Meds and therapy help me. I can't see why you would have a factitous disorder. There is no benefiting from it. All of these symptoms may be trauma related.

Hi, I think your t should not have been there and he should have warned you. My t once asked if she could attend the same event as me and I said yes and told her to say hello if she saw me. She did and I sill freaked out. I had a similar reaction. It is hard. I feel for you. I'm not sure about...
