So, I have hit a block in therapy. And it's happened before with previous therapists. I hold things back because I'm embarrassed or ashamed. She asked me something and my answer was that's just TMI. Her answer was that TMI with a therapist is avoidance. That there was no place for it. Has anyone...

For me it's trust.

Yes it is.

Absolutely. You should be told if you are being filmed.

Twice a week. So with face to face session we talk every other day.

I am extremely hyper vigilant. I can relate to the constant scanning, trying to determine who is a threat, etc. I don't do well with contact either. So crowds, the getting bumped into, is very overwhelming. I do my little safe place mantras but 10 minutes and I'm done. I don't know the answer...

So my symptoms have peaked and T suggested a medication consult. Has anyone done telemeds?

We have actually discussed that two year rule. She said it's for the protection of the client but is uncertain as to how it was decided.

Context may have been the wrong word. Confines maybe? I have been reading all these replies and I see that it's split. I don't believe that these sessions of texting are out of line. It does not at all look like what you are describing. It's teaching and supportive and it helps me make progress...

This is how I feel. I have sitting in an office with her for a year doing as 1 step forward 2 back dance with therapy. One day she tested me asked how I was doing. We tested back and forth and now therapy is productive. I think that's okay. We don't talk about her much at all. She's careful...

I work in a professional setting. I had a panic attack at work while I was with a client. I ended up bolting and still have not discussed it with the boss. I don't know how to move past this.

I have not and do not question her competence. She's the best therapist I've ever had.

No. I cracked a joke that we should text in session because it's easier. She said we aren't supposed to really text at all unless it's to schedule. Maybe I'm just making it a bigger deal than it is. When we text. It's checking because she knows I had a rough session. At times it becomes a...

A comment she made regarding our texting. She said that it caused the lines to blur. I question everything. Not at all. It has boundaries. It's just very different than past experience.

I am usually pretty frank and sarcastic in session. I would like to tell her that the bull shit busy work worksheets are a joke. She likes those so much.

I have been seeing my therapist for well over a year. We have become close, like friends almost. We text and talk outside the context of therapy. It has improved therapy because I feel I can trust her better. Is this normal?

Yes it can.

I was raised in a cult. So yes.

Exactly

Mostly disappointed.

I can relate. I've been all jacked up this whole week. It's been about 4 days now and my T is having me for an extra session tomorrow. Hoping she can help talk me down.

And? What does iQ have to do with God?

Agreed. Never got anywhere in therapy til I stopped smoking weed. It's self medicating.

Only Zoloft. But have taken that for years. I tried several and felt like a zombie.

I do this often. My T says it's dissociative behavior. But I know where I am, I'm just checked out.
