I would go with the one that you feel most comfortable with and who is going to help you most on your journey. I have major transference issue with my T and in my head he is the perfect man and a superhero.I do find the transference hard at times but at the same time he is the only man I have...

I eat a banana in the morning for my breakfast and then I take some pills to settle my stomach as I still get really nervous about seeing my T. I then get one bus to my local bus station,I then get another bus to a different place to get away from all the children at the bus station and then...

I never used to cry with other therapists but something has changed with my current one and I have cried quite a bit in our sessions. I feel safe and secure with him and I do feel I can show him my vulnerabilities but it took me quite a while to get there.

I would tell him,if the rest of your relationship is going well and you trust him you shouldn't stop your therapy because of this one thing. Whenever I have something awkward to tell my T I just write it down and give the piece of paper to him and then we discuss things afterwards. I am pretty...

I think it is really important to discuss how you are feeling with your T either by email or in your next session especially if you are feeling low. I know when I am feeling low I take all the negatives out of a session and let them ruminate in my head and that makes me feel even worse and it is...

I live in the UK and see my T on the NHS and I am not allowed any contact with him at all during the week and if I am feeling really low I have to contact a crisis team instead. Sometimes I find it difficult not having contact with him but I know the rules and boundaries and it is something I...

I also find the whole boundaries and attachment to people really difficult. I was discussing this yesterday with my T and we worked out that I get too attached too quickly to people who show me the smallest bit of love and then I try and push boundaries in order to get people to like me but it...

I think that it is your negative thoughts which are telling you that you do not deserve to have therapy. Mental health/PTSD isn't a competition and you may think that your problems are not as important as everyone else's but this isn't true.You have something which is affecting your way of life...

Last week I got so frustrated with my T and I turned around to him and said "what would you know ""you live in this world with your perfect partner and your perfect kids". We talked about it yesterday and I realised that I was just hitting out at him because I got frustrated and felt like he...

This is really strange because my T was talking about this very subject today with me.He said that I need to start taking more risks and to start showing my vulnerabilities to people and he recommended that I watch these videos on YouTube. I am going to watch them later and see if they make any...

I would say something to your T next time you see them.My T did a similar thing to me a few sessions ago in the fact that it seemed that he wanted to push me out the door. All I could think about for the whole week was how he had hurt my feelings so the next session I walked in and I said "you...

This is one of my main symptoms when it comes to my anxiety and like you I have the same phobia as well . I am quite lucky with that my GP and mental health team have given me stemetil tablets which I take when ever I require them.However whenever I feel really panicky I find it hard to get rid...

At the moment I am doing a trauma based CBT .My therapist is following a course based on childhood sexual abuse/trauma although I have never been sexual abused I was physically and mentally abused so we are adapting it to my personal situation. The first 7 weeks of the course was about my way of...

That is brilliant,well done to you for being so brave a discussing your issues with your T.It takes a lot of guts and bravery to put your heart on the line. Hopefully he will now help you to deal with your transference. Carry on talking on here if you need to deal with your feelings and keep...

I have a very similar problem to you especially with the eye contact and the transference towards to my therapist. However when I am in the therapy room I concentrate fully on what my therapist has to say completely otherwise I am not going to get anything out of therapy which when it comes down...

It is perfectly fine for you talk about your feelings on here as that is what this forum is for after all. .However I do think that you need to talk to her and tell her the feelings you have for her as she is trained in dealing with these kind of situations and discuss why you feel the way you do.

I do not think that you are a fool at all.I told my therapist that I had feelings for him and he told me that I am bound to get some kind of feelings which can be either positive or negative as we are working so closely togeather. Transference can be so confusing at times and very intense,you...

Mine is a high intensity psychotherapist so he deals with people who have more complex mental health problems. He is the first therapist to recognise I have both PTSD and C-PTSD and has gone much deeper into my problems than any other therapist.

I do think trust does take a while to establish and can he hard when you have been through trauma. Like a couple of the others have said you could say to her that you really like her as a therapist but you are finding it hard to trust her,I am pretty sure she will understand and will help you to...

When my T went away in August for two weeks I found it quite hard.What I would say is try to take it one day at a time.I wrote a couple of letters to mine whilst he was away and then showed them to him when he came back and that really helped. I know it seems like forever but time will go by and...

It took me by surprise when he first said it but now I have been thinking about it I think it is 100 % true and now I need to know how you break free from the cycle but it is hard when it is all that you have been used to.

I am doing this precise topic at the moment in therapy and I am finding it really hard as negative thoughts rule my life and I need that change so I can move on. My psychologist told me that I am in a basically in a abusive relationship with myself as I am so harsh and hard on myself all of the...

I think you should do whatever you feel comfortable with and if you don't want to tell her that is fine.I think the fact that you have acknowledged that you have feelings is a big step anyway. I told mine because it was eating me up inside and it was a risk that I had to take,he was fine about...

It sounds like you have some kind of transference feelings going on .I have to say you are not alone when it comes to feeling like this ,I feel the same about my psychologist as well. Have you talked to your psychologist about the way you are feeling? I just wanted to you to know that you are...

I am glad that you managed to sort things out and that you have found a new therapist who suits you more.Good luck with the rest of your therapy.
