I think we all go through times where we find excuses not to trust our therapist for one reason or another.I remember my T once spoke to me in the different tone of voice and I spent the whole week thinking I do not trust him but we talked about it and worked things out. I think that you need to...

You are more than welcome @Scott88 .It is natural to feel scared,could you write some things down tonight and show them to your new T. I am glad to see that you are feeling a bit more stable now and you have had lots of hugs with your child. Good luck tomorrow,I will be thinking of you and let...

How are you today at @Scott88 .When do you see your new therapist next ? Even though you feel you can't trust anyone anymore I think you should try and tell your new therapist how you are feeling at the moment,I know how hard it is going to be for you but I know you can do it as you are stronger...

I am so sad and disappointed to hear that your T never got back to you as you have a right to explanation and he is in the wrong and not you over this matter. I completely understand where you are coming from with the trust issues and how difficult it can be to establish any trust at all . 10...

Did you manage to sort things out ?

@Scott88 I am not in the same position as you but know what you are feeling inside and how much it hurts to lose a therapist.We are human beings who need support and we get attached to these people who are there to help us. I am glad that you are thought of your child and the affect that it...

Well done @UnicornSightings you should be very proud of yourself for getting your point across.Hopefully now he will understand how you are feeling and he will keep the appointments.

I am sure that this has nothing to do with you or your trauma.When you suffer from a mental illness it is quite common to blame yourself when things don't go to plan especially if you are not getting the answers that you require. You said he has been off work for quite a while with an illness...

You are completely right that it should be about us as the client and not the therapist as after all we are the ones who need the support ect. I can completely understand why he is being clinical and has boundaries ect but at the moment he is coming across like he doesn't even care that our...

Thank you.I think you are right hearing something like that from my T would help me feel better in a way.At the moment he is talking to me in quite a clinical way but I just want to hear something from his heart,he seems to be holding back . I am glad to hear that you have got stronger since and...

Thank you.You are right I found the last time hard and had a really bad experience and I am just scared of history repeating itself. I am have learnt alot in therapy this time and at last I have got a right diagnosis and I finally understand why I am this deep person who feels everything. Yes I...

Thank you.I will have a look into TalkSpace and see what it has to offer.I was thinking of doing a online psychology course in order to try and distract myself in some way and it will give me something to work towards. That is also another good idea to do similar things and reserve a time in my...

Thank you very much for your reply.I totally agree with you it is also about the loss of support as well.At the moment if I am having a difficult week then I can write my problems down and know the fact that I can go in there and he will help me feel better. I will have a discussion about the...

Thank you very much for your reply.That is a really good idea about writing letters to him as I do that anyway now.Writing is very cathartic and helps me to get my feelings and emotions out in a safe way.Maybe I might ask him if it is ok if I could send him a letter every now and then and see...

Thank you very much.You are completely right it is like a type of loss.He has helped me so much over the last 9 months and we have had highs and lows but we have come out the other side with a stronger therapeutic relationship and he has helped me grow as a person. I guess I just going to miss...

Thank you very much.I know you are right about being stronger than you think you are ,it is just in my head the rational and irrational have these battles and unfortunately alot of the time for me the irrational thoughts win. Maybe I need to help to listen to the rational thoughts more.

Thank you both very much for your support.In the UK based on my experience once your sessions are finished then you are discharged and basically it is quite rare that you get to see that person again. I just have this constant pain in my heart at the moment and I wish it would stop. I think you...

I live in the UK and have been seeing my T for nearly 9 months which on the NHS is quite a long time as usually it is normanlly 3-4 months but because of the nature of my childhood I think my T wanted to help me for longer. I have a really close relationship with my T but I also have a problem...

That is great news and I am glad everything worked out for you.

You haven't created a mess,you are a human being who has obviously had a painful past and now you have formed a attachment to your T.It is a really comm Common thing in therapy and therapists are used to it. I think he response was kind and showed that he wants to work with you through what ypu...

I am sure you will find the right words in the end ,it always takes me several times to get down exactly what I need to say. I do think that love comes is several different forms and what you are feeling is one of them whether that be wanting to be friends or anything else. Emotional abuse can...

Wow I am just trying to get over the first response to you on this thread as I thought this was meant to be a supportive forum. I think that you are suffering from some kind of C PSTD and if even if you weren't does it really matter as surely we meant to be human beings supporting each other...

I do think that boundaries is one of difficult things in therapy.You have two people who are working really close together and I think that some kind of feelings are bound to come to the surface whether they be negative or positive and it is down to the therapist to keep the boundaries in place...

I suppose it depends on whether the transference is negative,positive or erotic transference and the way your therapist deals with it. I agree with @UnicornSightings we come across different kinds of transference in every day life,in that certain people remind us of other people from our past...

I got engaged and booked my wedding. I got myself a semi colon tattoo which is something that I have wanted for about a year and I suppose I just needed a bit of encouragement to get one. I have learnt to trust another human being (my T)and feel safe with that person and I have also shown him my...
