Am I Falling Into A Newer Trap While Trying To Get Out Of The Older One?

OMG,,, yay. Met a first kiwi here. Kia ora mate :D. Btw, I was only allowed for 6 free sessions at that clinic I was sent to for PTSD and clinical depression last year. She was a great T who introduced me to myself. I wish I could go back but she isn't ACC registered psychologist. So I'll have to wait for the sensitive claims once I get the job meanwhile I'll see a regular counselor at my Doctors clinic. Nice meeting you new kiwi friend :)

I've not done a sensitive claims yet. I might do that at some stage as I think I'd like to do EMDR therapy (which my T at community mental health doesn't do). I had a look at ACC registered psychologists locally and there's a few that do EMDR.

Hope it goes well when you see your doctor :)

@jess_trustno1 just the fact that you got through school as well as you did really indicates to me that you will do just fine in your search for a job. I hope you are proud of your accomplishments and can keep focused on that feeling. I

I agree with the postings above. If you are sensitive to the criticisms that you know you are going to receive with your 'family', and you don't aspire to be like them then there is no sense of meaning in visiting them. I wonder if you have your own aspirations that you can remind yourself of when you have been thrown off? Is it possible to work on imagining what meaning in your life (without it being contaminated by others) is? What do you picture? How will you feel? Who would you like to be surrounded with?
