I walked in to my therapists office a few weeks before the final trauma that 'solidified' my PTSD. I first approached her office requesting support with the sudden loss of a close friend (still alive - I was just having a hard time with finding out she was actually a selfish raging b*tch). I...

Well then she'd be at a loss with me, as I've been diagnosed with TBI, PTSD experiencing severe symptoms, and depression experiencing severe symptoms. I find it really strange how she is hesitant to work with you just because you may also be experiencing depression. NEWS FLASH to your therapist...

There are criteria to meet the DSM classification of PTSD. A bad trip is a bad trip and a crappy memory, but PTSD is a whole slew of symptoms. You have to get a trained professional to determine that.

Or label sexuality..

When my therapist takes time off, I find this is my time to practice the skills she tries to teach me in session. As if I was in school, and it was time for a test. I find people in the USA lucky to have therapists they can call and text/e-mail as needed. For me, I get an hour a week and that is...

Beacause I started tearing up over it? No. I actually just left an office that wasn’t able to help me, and it was not a big deal. It’s not like I’m running around to each office telling them I’m going to kill myself because no one is helping me or whatever lol. Again, you can ask, but it...

It’s one thing to offer your opinion, but please avoid telling me how I should or am feeling. Thank you.

Interesting reply. As I’ve stated throughout I appreciate all feedback. In my experience through working in agencies in town is that people are allowed to ask all the questions they want. If something is not okay, then it’s the responsibility of the person being asked to accept or decline. Some...

I appreciate everyone’s feedback. The reason I have developed a beef with that assistant manager is bc she has failed to actually directly communicate with me about any issues. The single time she did, I kindly told her I was okay and didn’t need her help. If she meant something else then she...

I’m still working on processing - the emotions that were stirred up are still pretty intense. My therapist has worked hard on building a great rapport with me, so I’m intrigued to attend at least one more session. Normally I’d quit therapy and find someone else, but I think it would be more...

I strive to be a very understanding person..honestly, to a fault. People have done the shittiest things to me and I’m like..okay, but I can understand why/where your mind was when this happened. That’s something I need to work on too, but the only thing that truly pissed me off about all this is...

She said others said I had come by. Not necessarily because of the worker’s compensation stuff. The usually do that when clients come by in case the therapist needs to touch base with said client if they appeared to not be doing well

This is something to think about. Thank you for sharing.

There have been other traumas. I’m trying to think as to why this occurred. Thank you for asking. There’s been so much compounded, my therapist actually recently told me I am a “walking trauma”..fun.

I never said I didn’t swear. But it was after I tried to handle things calmly. Well, my version of that. Also, in hindsight it looks like I should’ve titled this thread better. When writing this, in my mind I know what I mean, but it’s hard to ensure everyone reads it the same way and I...

Ahh thank you so much for saying this!! I was debating responding, but you’re right I never called her that directly. And at first I was polite and said, I need you to stop talking. She kept going. Then I kept saying it in different ways until I got even more aggravated. The only thing I’m going...

Thanks for your input. Of course I will address the triggered outburst with her as I’m not about calling others names. Given our relationship, I can guarantee she will not even bring it up as an issue, however she will dig as to why I got so upset. In reading all of these responses it’s...

I meant that about in regards to the one woman who watches me like a hawk when I come in. Our pharmacies are not that controlled. Also, when I’m pacing/walking, it’s not when the place is busy. In fact waiting in the area they’d prefer clients to be is busier. I did it in the morning when not...

That’s what I’m wondering. By no means am I looking to throw her under the bus. I think she’s a great therapist. I’m just really not liking how it was eluded that I was the one behaving inappropriately out of my own volition. I feel degraded how they seem to be like...”ew. Clients go in that...

I thought about becoming violent. I didn't actually do anything but toss out a few words in an effort to release my anger. Actually aside from those few words, I was able to use breathing techniques to calm myself down. I was just highly annoyed that she wouldn't stop talking and allow me to...

Being mislead, receiving mixed messages, and being left with the blame of anything that goes wrong (when you were only acting on what was being told). Also when anyone is upset or disappointed with me/ isn't looking out for my best interests

1) I wish we could do the texting thing 2) the winters here are SO bleeping cold that most days even walking a block could freeze your lungs off, and since I was not driving at the time, this was not an option. 3) Now I rarely do 9a appointments. My therapist actually made a point in asking if...

To clarify, my therapist and I have a wonderful working relationship. I have an exceptionally hard time with trusting and I have warned her numerous times that I fear of becoming so triggered that I wouldn't be able to control how upset/mean I'd get. She has repeatedly told me it's okay and she...

I am in Canada. My issue with the majority of this is that no one came to speak to me about an issue directly in the moment. For everything that occurred, I followed the guidance of the staff, and it's not like I took it upon myself to do something shady. Furthermore, if sitting in the waiting...

I lost my sh*t in session today. Quite literally lost my mind. What happened you ask? Let me give you a bit of history.. My therapist works out of an office where there are many therapists, so, they have a number of people at the front working reception. Now, I'm a rather personable individual...
