I'm deeply sorry that you were treated that way. Thank you for responding to my post. I agree, it's probably a good thing I got away from this one early on, but it still hurt.
Thank you, and yes, I was seeing a previous therapist who was rather critical of me, and she would comment on my clothing being too baggy; because I lost weight, and she would also try to tell me how to eat. She also projected other people's issues on to me, so I walked away.
Thank you. Yeah, she was rather angry and for no seemingly valid reason. I get the feeling she needs anger management. During one of our sessions, she told me I need to learn to be more angry. I have been surrounded by toxic and angry people for most of my life, and that is what caused my...
Thank you. I've decided not to report her, but to just move on. It was unprofessional, and she screamed at another older woman who had entered her office too early. It was pretty scary.
Thank you for your hugs and kindness. I've been crying, and it hurts a lot. I like your visual representation of this. I hope to find someone better soon. I am on the lookout. Thanks again.
I had been to see her for three weekly visits. We were just getting started. The problem happened during our last session. She raised her voice at me, talking down to me and pointing into a notebook; page by page, to make an example, and she was angry at me. I gently mentioned to her that it was...
Almost one week ago, I got fed up with it, and I stopped all of my OCD rituals. Scary? Heck, yes, but I did it. I still have C-PTSD, and I get triggered by my family, this house, and certain music/tv/movies, but stopping the rituals felt so good.
Yes, but not at all times; and it depends on the noise. My biggest problem lately is my inability to listen to certain music without breaking into tears, and this particularly sucks, because I'm a musician. It is hurting me beyond belief.
My traumas were so intense that my previous therapist was triggered by me, and she freaked out on me. Last week, my new therapist raised her voice at me and talked down to me as though I were a 5 year old. I want a PTSD specialist now.
I also have Disney related issues, but the worst trigger for me is certain songs by The Beatles. One of my mother's husbands ritualistically beat me to their music when I was a little girl. My mom really knew how to pick them.
