True...she's around my age..which is young. so she is facebook generation anyway....

Thanks Orange phone. Hugs back. I didn't snoop on her fb but while I didn't look to see has she a linkedin,,,I sure was curious about her educational background lol!! So yes, curiosity is natural :) Hopefully she isnt too spooked by my friend lol!

I hope she isn't. I like her so much. She is the first therapist I have had who is super intelligent. I know that sounds bad...but its what I value in a therapist so I don't want to lose her.

I understand what you are saying and agree with most of it. But I guess the issue here is the worry she won't believe me that I didn't creep her social media. My friend didn't get her professional info. She went through facebook. It's just a mess. I don't even know her facebook!. :( I am sure...

True....she might be just concerned I guess

I appreciate her so much, even though there was no need to protect me. I'm blessed to have her and I love her. I am just super worried about the therapy. I feel the convo will be about boundaries not why my friend was worried. I don't disagree with you though, overreacting is likley. High...

I am in panic stations. I was feeling really low a few nights ago and messaged my friend but she was a bit drunk and wasn't supportive which didn't bother me too much. I just said I was going to sleep and hugged her good night (in text format) Next morning I went to college. For most of the day...

I think it would be ok to tell your child santa is real if you would like to. I agree with mytime about santa really being about the spirit of christmas rather than a physical person. It truely captures what christmas is really about. As long as santa isnt about getting stuff, its a wonderful...

Hey @bellbird I'm sorry you've been through such an awful time. <3 Di it take you a while to be able to tell your counsellor about those dreams? I have been seeing mine 10 months and have yet to even tell her about the trauma in detail, so the dreams are still too raw to touch. I'm glad talking...

I keep having nightmares about being sexually attacked. I do have sexual trauma from when I was 13 but these dreams don't really resemble the actual trauma. Is this a thing? To have dreams of being forced in ways that don't really represent the trauma visually if you get my meaning? The common...

My T gives her tips in things she tells me rather than tasks to do: -You are a person - Your feelings are valid - She taught me this trick to ease anxiety where she has me tap pressure points under my eyes. It actually works. - To be patient because it might take up to a year before I learn to...

Welcome Red! Hope you like it here

I thought I would start a positive thread:) What does your T do that you appreciate? I appreicate my T because she listens to me. She doesn't have any preconceived ideas of how anything should be and treats me and I'm assuming all her other clients as unique. She isn't afraid to show her own...

I appreciate you and all you do for me and I think you are one of the kindest, sweetest people I know but there is no way I will say that to your face so I am going to nickname you pikachu instead because you both like yellow and be all like pikachoo i choose you (as my therapist)

BigBirdsSister.... I loved bigbird as a child lol

Unlike with previous therapists, I trust my T 100 percent not to think I am looking for attention. I behave oddly at times, but she never judges me for it, just helps me ground and regain control. It's so safe. I am willing to let her see all of me, good and bad and in turn I am still being...

@UnicornSightings If I do bring it up, will likely bring it up like that, not that I get scared when she does it but rather more in the context so she can help me with my sensitivity to body language in general. It's a good opportunity to work on that. This isn't something she is doing wrong...

@Freida It's good you have a therapist that is so atuned to what you need freida :) I will likley tell my T I am worried she doesn't like me, but I will likley leave out the arm foldy thing. She does care, I don't want her to feel horrible, even for a minute.

@EveHarrington You are right...lol I love your answers. You are always so straightforward. It's more so when she folds her arms, I worry I am being a harm to her and she needs to protect herself. You are still right though, 100 percent. xD

@DogLover33 Did it interfere with therapy for you doglover? I do agree, telling her probably won't hurt. Reassurance does work with me, even if it needs a top up every few months.

I doubt she is aware of it, she was trying to convince me to see a psychiatrist at the time I think. Like yours she may have been reacting to me too.

@UnicornSightings I do fold my arms too! well, i tighten my arms around the cushion I constantly hold. I cover MYSELF too. I never do therapy without holding the cushion. Oh gosh I never thought of that. Maybe I should mention it anyways.

@UnicornSightings That makes sense. I am glad tellings yours did help. I get no being able to believe her had she told you. I watch mines body language a lot. I read that folded arms are negative and a bad sign. She folds hers sometimes when talking to me. I might be reading too much into it...

@UnicornSightings What was her reply if you don't mind saying?

I get along well with my therapist. She isn't doing anything wrong or anything to make me feel this way. She validates me and reassures me any time I need it that she doesn't see me as attention seeking or other negatives I worry about. I worry though that she doesn't like me, or like working...
