[Jade-]

Maybe.Maybe not.I guess the OP needs to make that judgment of whether to bring it up next session or not.

Yep the OP has all the choices. :)

Don’t mean to sound nasty but arguing over what I need is not helping my message wasn’t related towards my therapist I didn’t tell them I loved them or anything like that it was some truths about my childhood that i have been trying to tell them for ages which I have struggled so hard to say outloud they know what happened to me in general but this was some more detail that I’ve been wanting to discuss but not been able to this is why I’m freaking out about my next appointment and the fact they never messaged me back

Thanks for a little more context. I didn't actually think you had declared your heart to your T btw :) The details you have divulged whilst drunk are therefore very important to you and part of your reasons for being in therapy by the sounds of it? In which case... it's going to be ok. T's have heard a lot, know a lot and I'm sure yours will be able to manage what you've said in your message. The drunk part - idk that it's so important unless you are getting drunk a whole lot of the time but that's obviously not what is really distressing you.

It will be ok. No harm has been done and certainly if you can now start to look at some of that detail or it's implications when you see your T - it may well do a lot of good for you?

I wonder, are you feeling a little insecure because you divulged something so difficult ...finally.... and it feels strange?

fact they never messaged me back

^How long ago did you send the message? Does your T have an arrangement with you that you can communicate via messages? I ask this bc my psydoc is fine with me emailing him all day long but he will reply with like five words... as in 'let's talk more next appt'... Ok that's technically six words - but he won't engage in long running discussions with me regardless. I think this is pretty standard for T's and psydocs.

Don't feel judged bc your T has not responded. Lots could be going on with your T too.

I messaged my therapist drunk and I regret it so much after waking up and noticing I did it. They never got back to me and I’m dredding my session even more next week ????

Hiya, @Scott88. I haven't done that with a therapist but I have with many other people. I wouldn't worry too much. People just realise that your not yourself and who knows you might have said some important things that need to be discussed. All the best to you.

I think it's telling how often this has been turning up in my feed. I wonder how "medicated with alcohol" the average (?) what, idk. One of us is.

And of course however much people say they drink, if they admit it all, the rule usually is double that. ( at least ). : )

As to the OP's original problem, it's not a problem.

Just be kind to yourself, forget it if you can, (it'll fade) and don't do that again.

Doing things I don't want is such a habitual issue, (went a little heavy on the hot dogs yesterday) and there are so many but drunkenness thankfully isn't one of them. Not right now anyway.

Thus the cause for disinhibiting for booze though it was impulsive and for a therapeutice experience maybe more premature than you intended or are prepared for.

Maladaptive stuff deserves a session. If I have to get loaded to tell you something... that's maladaptive.

hi
Therapists in my experience are the most understanding and most non judgemental people on the planet (or should be ) If you had lots of sessions already with the T then they will know you and your issues and understand. They probably will be just concerned about you. I have often really dreaded going to see a T but it usually turns out ok. Perhaps talk about your emotions about dreading to see the T. Some positive work can maybe come from those feelings.
