Thanks all for your replies.
Now that time has passed since yesterdays session I am feeling a little calmer and realise that walking out on the session was maybe not the best way to deal with the hurt I was feeling at the time. I will go back next week as I do not want things to finish up like...
Thanks for your reply @Emotional girl
Sorry to hear you are in the same position with therapy sessions coming to an end. It really does suck when you have formed an attachment and trust with someone. The therapy/ client relationship is so different from a normal relationship. I totally feel the...
My T is retiring, I have been seeing her for over 3 years. We have had a pretty good relationship during this time, she has been like the mother I never had and someone to trust. Next week is her final week and I have been really upset as our final week gets closer, I am really attached to her...
I cant answer your question regarding EMDR but I totally understand the wanting a mother type figure. My T is old enough to be my mother and I wish she would adopt me (lol I am in my 30's). I am lucky that my T allows hugs at the end of each session and I really appreciate and treasure these...
It is a shame your first thread got missed, don't take it personally its just the way things sometimes happen on a forum like this.
I am sorry to hear what you have been through and how it makes your life so tough now.
I have an addiction, not with alcohol but with food, I understand how hard it...
I am so sorry you are going through this. I was in a space like this last week and all I wanted was someone to physically be there for me and its hard when there is no one. I feel your pain.
I am sorry for the reply you got.
What is most important right now is you. Can you get away from work, tell them an emergency or something has come up and you have to leave? You are more important that your work.
Deep breaths, if you can get away from work is there a place you can go that you...
What a sh!t response from them. You did well for reaching out, they did bad by not being helpful. I know what its like to need someone for some support. How can we help you right now, what do you need?
I am sorry I don't have any advise for you. But I understand all of what you are saying. I am also quiet and shy. I hate my job and want to leave. I feel sick each morning when I go into work. It really sux.
Would it maybe help to go to one last session, just so you can talk it through with your T and let them know you are feeling so overwhelmed with it all? Maybe instead of quitting you could just take a break?
1-- Has anyone been social media "Friends' with their therapist or keep in touch when therapy ended? Yes my old T, I added her a few years after I stopped seeing her. Then I moved back to my old town and started seeing her again and after awhile she deleted me as friends lol. But never said...
It maybe embarrassing for you but my guess is it wont be for your T. It is good that she happily explained it to you. I to get embarrassed when talking about stuff like this with my T as well. She just takes it all in her stride and never makes me feel dumb or anything. It is good to be able to...
As above I also feel like I am going in circles in therapy. an hour session is not enough time. We will start a topic, run out of time and then next week something will have happened during my week I want to talk about so we jump to that. I feel like we are jumping all over the place and never...
Wow I would be freaking about filling in forms that want that much detail. Is it a form that your T personally has developed for their clients or is this a normal thing in your country?
I would leave the things you are not comfortable disclosing blank and if they ask say you are not comfortable...
I think it is fair to be given empathy by ones T. I would be upset if my T just sat there and smiled and nodded.
For me I need to feel empathy and like my T actually cares otherwise it would be hard to share things with her.
Can you bring it up with your T about how you are feeling?
I have an addiction to food, binge eating disorder. This started at a very young age after the abuse I went through. I turned to food as I had no one to talk to and I ate to try and cover emotions and block out the pain.
Well done @shatter eyes that is awesome!!
I too didn't eat any easter eggs even though there were plenty around me. As someone who has an addiction to food and trying to lose weight, I am proud of myself for not eating any.
Argh that would frustrate and disappoint me too. I need consistency and there are times where I almost live each week to see my T.
My current T that I have been seeing for almost 2 years has never cancelled on me. She has taken a few holidays but has always told me in advance. She said right at...
You are not alone in how you are feeling. It is so hard to have to wait days/ a week for another appointment with T when things are so bad. When things are tough and I am in a bad space the person I want is my T because when I am with her I feel cared for and she is someone I trust...
My advise would be to end it, you deserve someone better, who is there for you and someone who is happy to just hang out and not want to have sex every time you meet. Also seems odd he can only see you twice a week and at certain times.
I hope you are able to figure out what is best for you...
All the time.
My T is like the mother I never had. I miss her terribly which is a new thing for me as I have always been very independent and never attached to anyone to "miss them". When anything happens weather its good or bad the first person I want to tell is my T. I spend a lot of time...
Sorry to hear the difficult time you are having with your T and an appointment time. I think you have been fair in your replies. In my opinion she should never had told you the reason why she needed to change the appointment! I would hope she would have a private area that is away from anyone...
