I attended the office independently for 1-2 session before my accident as I had a previous issue I needed a 3rd party blank slate to hear me out on. Then, I had the accident and requested to remain with her. This was about a year and a half ago. Although she does have to write periodic reports...

I’m trying very, very hard to let her get there. I can’t lie and say it’s her fault that I haven’t gotten very far because quite frankly I haven’t let her in much. However when she does proceed without tact I leap into those faults to protect myself. I wish I could be more aware of it in the...

See, but then people wonder why I'm so angry/bitter. It's because my boundary is never freaking respected. I can trail this all the way back to my youth, but what I need to learn most now is how to remain confident and assured that my decisions are valid. The only validation I get is when people...

Hello, Thanks for your reply. I agree with your statement of her shooting off commentary from the comfort of her cushion - it gives me great feelings of contempt towards her. I try to CBT those thoughts but I'm conflicted when I'm reminded that I am the only one who truly knows myself and what...

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. I don't really think anyone would try to invalidate what happened as it was pretty significant - apparently the worker who took my call when I reported it that night began crying when she relayed the story to managers the following day. My...

I loathe CBT because it puts the onus on the client. Basically if you're not doing well, it's you're own fault because you're not changing your thoughts enough. Sorry, but I know what it's like to feel good. I know what its like to feel normal. I don't appreciate being told that my thoughts are...

No I have not. The office I attend focuses on CBT (as well, the concussion doctor and driving rehab OT both on the report that I should continue in clinical CBT sessions as the largest part of my recovery). I had two sessions with the owning psychologist, and he stated that according to the...

Yeah I might have to do that. The reason I posted this was because everyone seemingly kept telling me that I was being resistant and I thought of that as being a delinquent and purposely trying to get out of work, when that is 100% not the case. As we just identified I am simply trying to ensure...

10000000% - they had told me when my physio and I requested more sessions that “we’re not going to pay for physio forever”...okay, well then freaking do some more tests and find the root cause of my issue so we can treat it more effectively you freaking cold-hearted cheap skates!!! You think I...

I guess overall I don’t feel supported enough to attempt something risky at this point. I’ve barely received enough support to manage/treat my current symptoms - if had to fight every step of the way. What makes them think I’m ready to take on more responsibility when we are still not clear...

That’s the worrisome part - it’s up to the employer. And then I factor in concern about being paid the amount I used to for MUCH less work. I internally would be in constant fear of them cutting me off bc I am not performing enough to be deserving of that amount. Furthermore, what if I get bad...

Again, pretty much my thoughts. That’s why when (in my other post) people bring up back to work I start getting nervous. There’s too many unknowns still right now. They keep thinking/saying returning me to that stuff could “help” me. No. I am not doing well because of the UNCERTAINTY of what my...

The best answer I can muster towards this is that it’s because I hate being a disappointment. I mean I just woke up and I’m in pretty rough shape (sore, headaches, numbness, and etc). I know my tolerance level is very, very low. Unless I have some sort of amazing support team who truly listens...

That’s exactly my mindset. Because I don’t have an objective perspective on this I fear I’m going to be viewed as resistance and that I simply don’t want to comply. That’s why I get so confused with them pushing me when I’m still responding with severe levels of anxiety 1.5 years post- crash. I...

You and I have the exact same mindset. If I need more time off or funds for physio, then that is what I need to focus on. Not “maybe this is as good as it’s going to get”. Sorry but I’m not going to live a gimp life just because worker’s comp only cares if I’m able to work even with impairments...

I’m a social worker by trade. While It was just after graduating I had my trauma and developed PTSD, I’ve always been honest with just about everyone with the PTSD and life in general. It makes you down to earth and a realist. Most are too scared to admit they have issues but if you are...

Have any of you suffered a trauma and developed PTSD that prevented you from working/had a workplace trauma? If so, did you attempt to return to work? How did it go? If you were deemed unable to work, how long did you try for? My therapist is very fixated on the exposure aspect of my therapy rn...

That’s about what she got from me to be honest. Like sorry. This is my life, not yours. I know what I can handle, don’t tell me what I can handle. You are not me

Long story short, I'm still injured from my accident 15 months ago. I've hit a plateau in physio with the current information we have on my body, so I am currently not being treated. I have been referred to various other tests due to symptoms (i.e. numbness, memory issues and etc). I saw my...

Sounds like my everyday. Best thing for me is to remove all stimuli and “go chill”. You’re overloaded. Well that’s what happens to me anyways

I know lol

Sounds like you were clearly making a statement of distress about your accnt taking a “huge hit” if she cashes them all at once. Pretty misleading if that’s not why you’re upset with her..

No, because that’s when errors in spending occur and you start thinking “hmm. I could just *not* pay that bill and keep all of this for me!” I actually just dumped a buttload of cash on service that I need, and I just got paid yesterday. Don’t fool yourself thinking you have $$. It’s never...

Sounds like a personal problem lol. I do that everyday when my credit card has “pending transactions”. The money has yet to be posted, but I no longer have access to the full amount of my credit limit bc I knowingly charged it. Then, the amnt on my chequing(debit) accnt looks like I have a lot...

Why would it be a huge shock if it’s expected?
