My relative who I see regularly has clearly started taking drugs and or drinking again. He took drugs for many years and also was physically abusive to me when I was little. In recent years he had quit drugs and drink and we'd re-connected. Things were fine until Christmas when he got drunk...

Hello, so last week I had a phone appointment with a new psychotherapist. I waited 11 months to have this appointment. I started to tell her some traumas I've been through and she said she 'won't deal with exploring traumas'. It was a psychologist I'd seen before who referred me to her. The new...
