I would say this is the case. Fear of saying the wrong thing, fear of getting told off ...... stuff that happened in the past. Have talked these fears through with my T and I know that she most likely wont tell me off ...... just still have this fear of her. Frustrating as it holds me back. I...

Yes, this! The other thing I find is that if my T starts talking about one topic and there is something else I want to talk about I cant tell her. But the topic I want to talk about is on my mind and I am not focused on what she is talking about. Argh this happens so often

I have done this ...... but then I worry about what I have written and some notes I leave with her to read once Im gone. Then I worry for the next week weather or not she is going to say anything about what was written and I get scared to go and see her because I don't know whats going to...

Yes this is totally it! I plan in my head before each session what I want to talk about but when I get there nothing comes out

I had my weekly session with my T this morning and afterwards I was thinking that I am actually a little bit scared of her. She hasn't done or said anything to make me feel this way. She is the loveliest T I could ever wish for so gentle and understanding. I look forward to each Thurs when I...

Oh I can totally relate to this!

My old T had a firm voice that she used every now and then and I hated it. But the reason I hated it was because it reminded me of my mothers "telling off" type voice. I wonder if you are having the same problem ...... your T is reminding you of someone else in your life that you have felt...

Im curious how you brought this up with her? I am way to embarrassed to bring it up with my T as I feel really bad about searching for her

yes I have done this, I google their name to find out anything I can about them ....... I thought it was just me! I always feel terrible when I look up stuff like this. I look at their facebook pages and get annoyed that they have everything set to private lol

Also wanted to add he may not actually be that negative he may just be venting! Think how hard a job of a T is listening to everyone's problems all day

If it is the same person I am surprised that he doesn't have his profile set to more private!! I guess what he is like in his "real" life isn't any concern of yours. If he is nice enough towards you and you think he can help then that is what matters. If you cant get over what you have read and...

I really don't get the "inner child" thing, like I understand we have an inner child and a lot of the time it is them that holds the pain. But I don't get how to connect with the inner child. I guess my T will go through this with me at some stage

Argh I have been going through this with my T the last 2 sessions. I was hospitalized also (when I was 17) lucky for me it was only 2 nights and I agree with you it didn't help in the slightest it was absolute hell. We have been talking about suicide I think I had said something about wanting to...

I am the same! I struggle when talking about the hard stuff with my T to look at her I look across the room!

I cant believe I am going to admit to this on here, but I am 34 and I still suck my thumb *totally embarrassed* I can remember as a child my mum tried everything to stop me but nothing worked. I guess my thumb has always been my comfort ...... I have no idea how I would ever give it up but wish...

Hi anonymoustbh Glad to see another kiwi on here! Can you see your school counsellor? You can talk things through with them. You can get counselling through ACC (sensitive claims) for sexual abuse. Maybe you could see if you can talk to the school counsellor and see if you qualify for ACC...

I can relate to this. I have started seeing a new T (had about 7/8 sessions) and already have become attached to her and miss her between sessions, a week feels so long. I normally write stuff down during the week to take with me as I struggle to talk at times. She knows I miss her between...

I would class clawing yourself which makes scabs self harm. I guess it is anything that harms or hurts ones body. I have a problem with over eating, I guess this can be classed as self harm ....... I am basically killing myself with food! Be interesting to hear your T's view on what she...

When you talk about couples counselling do you mean for couples having issues or do you mean when one has PTSD and you are bringing the other half in to help understand the PTSD and to work together to help the sufferer with PTSD?

Has anyone heard from Sammy lately??

Evening Sammy, hope the last couple of days have been better for you :)

Well done for standing up for yourself! I know it is a really hard thing to do. If she does quit, yes it is a pain to find a new employee but you will most likely find someone who is more deserving of the job! She got angry because she most likely isn't used to you standing up to her and was...

No I don't. Because they are written pretty broadly so most people can find a way to make it fit into their lives if they want to. I don't have anything against people who do believe in them though each to their own :)

I would just tell your T that you have a lot you need to get of your chest and you will just blurt it out. If you don't want your T to interrupt then I sure it should be fine to let them know that. Good luck for your session :)

Awesome news, one less thing for you to have to worry about! So happy for you :)
