I have a fear that my T will "give up on me"
I also have attachment issues and get attached to my T because she is so nice and I wished I had a mother like her.
I have talked this through with her. She said we will continue to talk about the attachment as we go along, keeping it in the open...
Sammy!!! I hope you have made it home safely by now
You are not a useless crap person and it upsets me that you call yourself that! You are a really caring person that people on here love.
I know when times are rough they are really rough but you can get through this, even if its minute by...
I can understand how scared you are. When I was seeing my old T, I would sometimes ask for an extra appointment. Most of the time it was not a problem. But I had that fear of rejection so was always nervous for her reply. If she couldnt fit me in I would always think it was because she didn't...
Im sorry to hear you had a rough session today :(
A therapist shouldn't make you feel like that.
I guess you have 2 options, one is to go back and tell her how you felt and see what her reply to it is and if you can move on from it. Or if you don't feel she is a good fit can you find someone...
Its a bit of peanut butter, meh who cares. Now if it was poop ....... the sheets would get changed.
More to life that washing sheets because of a little bit of peanut butter.
I don't consider myself to be dirty, but also not super clean.
I think we all have these fears!! Please don't bail. Most therapists are normally understanding people and he will know you are nervous!!
I started with a new T 5 weeks ago. I was lucky in the fact that this T specializes in sexual abuse so anyone that goes to see her is going for this reason...
From what I have read I would say that T is/was not a good fit for you. I have recently changed T's. I thought my old T was great but since starting with someone new I have discovered that this new T is amazing! She is so gentle and kind and I find it easy to tell her things which is unusual...
I think there are some people that just can not be on their own. There for they jump from one relationship to another. They may not be over the ex but have moved on to another as their way of dealing with it.
Hi Angel
How you feel about touch is not uncommon!
Therapists are used to hearing this sort of stuff so I hope one day you will feel comfortable bringing it up with your T as I think it will help you to be able to talk about it with him.
I dont get the whole makeup thing (I only wear eyeliner and lipstick) As when someone is wearing foundation you call tell they are, so like you can tell they are trying to make themselves look better, I just don't get it
Today is the day!! Managed to get more sleep than I thought I would so that's a bonus :)
Not feeling too nervous at the moment, hopefully I can stay this way.
Being picked up in 3 hours!
*deep breaths*
Hope everyone has a fabulous day, happy easter :)
I know how you feel!! The facebook group we belong to is a geocaching group (don't know if any of you know about geocaching it is all over the world and so much fun) that both hubby and I belong to and we would normally go together so wouldn't be so much of a problem for me I would still be...
Sounds like a plan *my heart is racing just thinking about it though lol*
Sorry you couldn't make it to the wedding but I know I hard it is! I didn't go to eithers on my best friends sons birthdays last year and felt so bad but I just couldn't make myself go.
My anxiety is sky high at the moment as I am so nervous about tomorrow. A local group that I belong to on facebook is having a get together tomorrow and I have put my name down as going. It is not like me to go to these sort of things I normally stay away from them but I am forcing myself to go...
I can relate to the struggling to open up to people and why would a T want to help. Please do not be afraid to cry in front of your T!! It is ok to cry in front of them it is a safe place and they are used to it. Don't hold it back. Crying expresses emotion and your T will be able to tell how...
I have just started with a new T. My old T chose this T for me as she thought she would be the best fit for me. I have only had 3 sessions so far and really like this new T. The hardest part is starting all over again pretty much as this new T needs to learn everything about me. So the process...
