Hi and welcome :) I hope you can feel safe here, we are a great bunch and understand a lot of your pain and what you have gone through

being sober for 23 years is a fantastic achievement although I am sure has not been easy at times! But you have got through 23 years of being sober so you can get through the challenge of your sons wedding without the need to drink :) You can still toast the bride and groom just have something...

Nope my parents never said I love you! It is something that if my husband and I have kids we will make sure we tell them everyday

Maybe its time to move on to a different therapist ...... sometimes we can only go so far with a therapist then we need more than they can give. Yes it is hard to start off with someone new but it may be what you need.

Hi usul, welcome to a fellow New Zealander! I am sorry to hear what you have been through I hope you can find the help you need to heal :)

I always wear knickers and a T shirt to bed because it feels wrong to me to sleep naked!

And we got selected OMG Its called "cuddly couples" 2 couples got picked (one being hubby and I) and get a free gym membership for 6 weeks and a personal trainer and nutritionist for this time and the couple that loses the most weight in this time gets a year membership and a weekend away. Its a...

I see my T once a week. I miss her so much between sessions as I am not close to many people but my T is someone I feel close to and she is so gentle and caring, like the mother I never had. What I have found helps when I miss her is that I write stuff down and write it to her. I write stuff I...

I would love to be able to eat like a normal person and not over eat I would love to be able to lose weight so I fit a healthy weight range and don't stand out because I am fat I would love to find a great job that I love doing I would love to be able to start a family with my husband

The more I think about it the more angry it is making me! I guess I am the sort of person who if I say I am going to do something I do it, I don't like letting people down! My old T would forget some of the stuff I would tell her but its a lot to take in so I kind of understand that but to...

It sounds like you are going to a great family and I am happy for you that you are so excited :) Wishing you all the best with another chapter of your life, looking forward to hearing updates from you. You are such a wise person for your age :)

I am really sorry to hear she hasn't emailed you back, argh that would piss me off and I would have confused feelings just as you do. If she has forgotten then that would concern me but I guess they see so many people it could happen but you shouldn't need to chase her up. It sucks cos you have...

Im sure it must be exhausting being at the hospital so much but please remember to look after yourself as your daughter needs you to be as strong as you can be for her :)

Hi and welcome. I know what its like to feel alone but coming on here helps to not feel "so alone" I can totally understand all the emotions you are having with what you are going through. It must be so hard to see your daughter and the struggles she is going through. Feel free to chat in here...

I have read your previous threads on your accommodation struggles and I am super pleased to hear you are happy in your new place!! So awesome to read your happy news All the best and I wish you happiness in your new home :)

I like having an older Therapist as I like the "mother like" relationship because I didn't have that with my mother.

I am overweight, my eating problem started when I was 10 after I went through sexual abuse. It took me years to realise I had an eating problem and that I over ate and that it stemmed back to the abuse. I feel crap about myself all the time! If I wasn't this fat life would be so much easier but...

Therapy ....... I don't really know why I guess I relate to all the issues people have with therapy/therapists But I always look at the newest threads and any that the title catches my attention I look read.

I was wondering this as well. I haven't known the ages of my previous T's I could guess as they were all older but it is only the T I have at the moment that told me on the first session her age as she is less than a year away from retirement and wanted me to know that she didn't plan on...

Just curious as to weather other people have a preference for a certain age group for their therapist? I am in my 30's and my T is in her 60's. All the T's I have seen have always been older as in my parents age and this is the age I prefer a T to be. I find it easier to talk to someone of this...

I can totally understand where you are coming from with your fear of your T retiring. My T is 64 (65 is the age of retirement here) I have only been seeing her for 2 months and this was a concern with me but she told me when I first starting seeing her what her age was and that she planned on...

I would be pissed off as well if I had 2 appointments in a row cancelled and I would also have all those thoughts you do going through my head! I am lucky that one of the first things my new T said to me when I first saw her was that she was reliable ..... this is a huge thing for me as I live...

lol I love the way you have worded this! We have enough to worry about without having the extra pressure of wondering how many sessions we will get. Plus its sooo expensive to pay to go privately! Its almost like if we don't get enough sessions to get through everything is there any point in...
