My anxiety filled brain

sorry lol I am just re-reading my post and I feel like it's almost incomprehensible. Too many thoughts were trying to come out at once lol

Hey all, I came home feeling pretty good after therapy today, but yet again my therapist allowed me to avoid going through a relaxation and the processing part of exposure therapy. As soon as she brought up settling into relaxation, I immediately began shaking my head no and getting worked up...

I just posted something like this in the anxiety section. I like the way you worded it - wellness guilt sounds right. I've explained it before as feeling like I fake called in sick to work. I also have some physical things I am trying to work out from my accident and because my medical team has...

If you want to talk about wasted time then you are just going to have a negative spiral down the depression hole. Cause then, you're going to sit there are get upset about what made you need therapy in the first place and so on (speaking from experience).

Side note: I’m extremely hard on myself and have an extended history of family members gaslighting me/telling me what I’m feeling. I have such a hard time with this idea of having this diagnosis unless I’m in compelste major distress 24/7. #anxiety #runawayandhide

i don’t know if this is anxiety talking or what but recently my mood has been awful. Like to the point where ending it all crossed my mind. I pulled myself out of it this week, and now I’m sitting here with something positive happening and since I’m no longer in such a low spot, my brain is...

I just want to highlight that this post, and if you actually do everything you are saying you plan on doing IS the essence of therapy. From the sounds of it this guy is perfect as your therapist. He seems to be pushing you just the right amount to make you uncomfortable, but then is empathetic...

So, given your last post about criticizing your therapist for being 'too nice', what I'm hearing from all this is your panic due to a loss of control. This sounds like it's new territory for you (his personality, style and approach) and you're not sure what to do with it (except run/avoid -...

yeah usually rapport is built when you first start working with a client..my response was for someone who has been seeing their therapist for a while..

For me, rule of thumb is 15 min either way. Be it the client or professional, if no contact is made by the individual who is running late, it's appropriate to start asking questions. In Canada, with psychiatrists and physicians, it is common for them to run quite a bit late (30 min - 45 min, if...

In that case, yes.

That's called avoidance.

I don't think so. Not unless the child in question is still underage and believed to be at risk of harm

your therapist's office should have a consent form and the restrictions for all that. Littleoc is right. Consent forms are time-limited, and they have their own rules of confidentiality to go with them. I'm sure your therapist will help you iron out what is applicable information. At one...

Worker's Comp (called WSIB in Canada)

Isn't your therapist able to filter through whatever you consent to?

Tell me about it. I usually go every Friday, and my therapist had to cancel last week. I thought I was doing okay, but without her I found I had a rollercoaster ride. So much emotion, panic, self-loathing, and etc... I feel sorry for her when she finally gets to ask how I've been....lmao.

honestly advocating for yourself, especially with mental health, is a HUGE piss off. I want to shake them and be like WOW can you not see the systemic issues here? You are blocking me from receiving care because you don't believe me. Yes, all my physical issues are there due to PTSD...and I'm...

some would say that you're already going in with a wrong frame of mind....ugh. I hate those people lol then again, I hate most people

"hey therapist, today is going to be a sh*t session....just thought I'd give you a heads up!"
