Music . I have made made Music and lyrics for many years, and I also play in a band. I think Ive been releasing something trough Music. And its always been there even when Ive been without a job, or like now, working with something entirely else than what I wanted after my studies.

I have this problem that my mind goes "hyper" in therapy sometimes. I suffer from intrusive thoughts - although it does not really interrupt my daily functioning that much. It is mostly visuals stuff - often sexual images. Often my therapist is involved in these pictures, therefore I cant...

Same thing here - I have eye-contact occasionally though. But often it feels shameful. I prefer look away when talking, but I look at him when he is talking.

I think I have hidden away the feeling of shame - until now. I thought of it yesterday when I finally put myself together and went to the hairdresser, and I both hated it and liked it. I hated that my looks were in the centre of attention - at the same time it felt good to treat myself. But I...

Exactly - I guess we just have to trust they want to continue see us then. I have decided to tell him the next time I see him, that I dont plan going on much longer, but may need a few more sessions to work trough a couple of issues. Just so he knows I wont be coming for years sharing every...

Thank you for your fine answer. What does CSA stand for btw?

I think I will be able to tell him something about this - maybe not directly, but mention to him that I am not going to keep seeing him for several years.

So I have been in therapy for almost a year now , but I have only been there like once a month - I cant afford more. I have talked through my trauma (most of it, I think) and my relationship with my mother. The last 3 or 4 sessions we have not talked about my childhood, after my wishes - it...

The hopelessness I felt last spring was that I had lost the ability too see solutions. I could not see how my situation could ever get better. But there was always a little hope after all, or at least some strength - this little hope of finding a solution led me into therapy :)

Thanks all of you for answering - seems like you all think working without goals is common :)

My therapist forgot my sessions once. It was of course a bit hurtful, but I learned that it was just a mistake - he forgot to put me in his calendar. It took a while for me to trust him again, though. And I guess trust is your issue here - do you feel like you can trust her now? It has...

I was just wondering...I keep reading that a good psychologist sets goals together with the patient in beginning of therapy. I have not really talked about my goals for therapy with my therapist. I came into therapy in some sort of crisis and I just needed to talk about my mother and my...

I`ve been in therapy for like 10 months. But I have only been there once a month, sometimes twice - I simply can not afford more, even though my therapist has made an reduced price. In the beginning I felt like it was not enough - I was struggling and I was in some sort of crisis. I felt...

So....I have probably been "clouded" for a long time now - always worrying, thinking about trauma and difficult issues. But during these last few months I have felt this sense of "light" a few times. It is like some cloud disappear, and for a second or two everything looks brighter - does...

Aha..yes, it could be that I react to him like he is my mother in some situations, but I really do not know. Thank you for answering:)

Hey..I think it is hard to say if this has something to do with my mother, but as you say - it could have. I think because my therapist is a male I should not react with this intense fear. I can sometimes feel that a hug or physical intimacy is a little awkward, but I don`t get afraid. Hard to...

So yesterday during my therapy, my therapist came a little closer physically than he normally does. Just a little, bending forward, trying to maintain eye-contact. Normally I dont get afraid, but I swear this time I got really frightened of his nearness. I wanted to run and remove myself from...

Interesting to hear. I think it is a weird practise - putting us on the board like that. Plus, it is noticeable for everyone who enters the room. So your skills are visible for everyone working in the building. It is of course satisfying when you get a + or you can write one more sale at the...

So I think it is a combination between my anxiety and reality (the fact that HE IS putting pressure on us) that causes me the problems.

It is by gestures, facial expressions but also by putting pressure on me and the whole team by telling us we have to higher our energy when things are not going great. When we are not performing in relation to the daily goals he set for us, he is writing (-) in front of our names at the board...

Ups...yes..my post did not come through. I just wanted to thank you for the advices. My big problem is my anxiety for failing and my my people pleaser syndrome;) I know I have to concentrate more on my self and not be so hypersensitive about signals from others (especially my boss).

I just started a new job within telecommunications 10 days ago. I have never worked within the area before (this is within sales) and I am actually an academic. But since it is so difficult for me finding a relevant job, I decided to give this a chance, thinking that I would like to develop my...

Thank you. That is reassuring and interesting. I am in a safe environment - thank you:)

Thank you for the advices - I know I have to stop worry so much;) The examples are: 1. We were talking about my inner critic. He proposed that we could call it a voice - not that he wanted to indicate that I was hearing voices, he said. Maybe he said this to test my reaction or hoping for some...

It makes sense..been thinking of OCD since I also got some intrusive sexual related thoughts once in a while.
