You know, I worked with animals, and can say that people are like cats. Put a pissed off cat in a cage. and the next person that goes to grab the cat, the cat will strike. Dosn't matter if it's the same person. Their mad and they'll show you their mad. A lot of people tend to vent their anger...
Baby steps, LOL sorry for the pun. Sometimes you have to fall into a few holes before finding a easier path to walk on. Keep going till you find the right path. The more you try and learn from your mistakes, the easier it will get.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation sara. I'd talk about the rape with your T. No one deserves to be controled, especially when we are far more sensitive than average people. If you feel safe enough to do so, wirte about it on here first. No one is here to judge you, only help in whatever way...
Yes, first ask yourself if you trust yourself. Others don't really need to know your "labels". Also when others won't listen when your down, it's usually cause they already have a lot on their plate. First try finding things you can relate to, to talk about. and gradually go from there. Judge...
Abstract: I don't really understand. But if you mean by triggers, Your feeling the same emotions you were suposed to feel at the time of the trauma. Our brains didn't register those feelings back then. But, when reminded of that trauma, and in a safer place, you'll feel those same feelings as if...
This takes awhile to do, but if you spend some time each day thinking of how you could turn that situation around in your favor. It's called a lucid dream when your able to do this. Since then I have nightmares but they don't bother me, though some are pretty disturbing. It took me two months to...
Thank you, and it's his problem if he dosn't want to associate with me. What I actually did was to give my T a view point of what I was going through. cause i told him I didn't want his sympathy. I was tired of people feeling sorry for me. I just wanted a bit of understanding. I also explained...
When I first e-mailed him, I said I had to talk to my brother first. he was abused also but is in denial. He loved our mother even for what she did. I basicly told him I wasn't going to take and Sh*t from him. I may be the younger sister but I'm a grown woman. Since then he has nothing to say to...
He finds me inspiring, and had buttons made. So yes he would be treating me differently. As far as relationships go, I do tend to stand my ground. Standing my ground in this type of situation, is weird; but, none the less need to be done.
Wanted to first ask on here, to judge my reactions and concernes about it. And he brought up that I was very aware and intelligent. Appreciate the questions. as it helps me judge my reactions and feelings for this. As I'm sure you would be feeling the same way. I guess bring up the topic again...
Let me rephrase a bit. I do feel safe and comfortable talking to him, as well as trust him. It's what he's doing that's going above and beyond, as well as his behavior. I know some judo, so that's covered lol. Never had this type of situation before, and with him wanting me to bring up the...
I blew practically my whole life story on him, and do trust him but, gotta get the nerve to ask him. What do I say?...You seem to have feelings for me, and it's making me uncomfortable. Yet I find him attractive. WTF Follow your heart and good things are sure to follow. Makes me second guess...
The only other person was The Dr. I worked with that opened my eyes to how I was treated. He was married and we kept things strictly friends/work basis. And yes, T says he wants to do this type of stuff for all his patients, but haven't noticed any special treatment on their hand.
I can relate to what you say. and I had to take the compliments of what other people have said about me, in my past. To find my sense of self worth. For me it was a Dr. I worked with that said, "why do the others treat you the way they do?". You don't get paid enough for the amount of work you...
Yes, I have told him. But from my perspective with his actions and demenor seems to want something more. In terms of relationship. And I'm usually right when I judge other peoples behavior, as to what I'll allow myself to say, and keep them at a distance. I guess I'm afraid of what if I am...
No he hasn't been innapropriate. And no I don't generally think that of people. I've had other therapists, and I haven't felt like I do with him. Not that it's wrong, but he even warmed up his office for my session, and let me know about it. And I can E-mail him anytime I want to. Also how I am...
I actually told him it was makeing me a bit paranoid, yet he continues to do this. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all he's doing, dispite being uncomfortable with all the attention. It is ringing bells on my part. What happened to "I don't date patients". And it does feel like he's going beyond...
Very true, and I am a vet. tech. Though haven't been working for a few years due to a downward spiral of health problems. During the first four years of my career; had worked with someone that opened my eyes to the way the other staff and Dr's. were treating me, and I deserved better; That I...
No I didn't mean to say I don't own up to my feelings. Just was a possibility, since I had been in a good mood then all of a sudden felt an intense feeling of lonlyness without thinking of anything else. Just thought it was a possibility. Also of course they would bring topics up that I would...
