What Kind Of Client Are You?

[ihateusernames]

I guess I'd be a fly-over, only there out of a sense of duty, try to hurry and get it over with because I know that I'd be a Big "T" client if I put more into it. And I don't want to put all that into it. :(

Relate most to horrible attachment and big T, with dissociation...though not "severe" (although I don't even know, okay?) It's harder than I expected. I wanted to have some life-changing miraculous recovery with a couple months. #*(@% :grumpy: As I feel a little safer I just find out a little more about how f*cked up I am.

I see myself in several, although I am working on year 3 of regular weekly therapy. Just now starting to space it out to two weeks unless things are bad.

I see myself as a Questioner- I am constantly questioning/doubting myself. My T says this is due to living with a borderline mother.

I see myself as The Next Developmental Step Client: I am working on building independence from a very toxic and dysfunctional family.

I am DEFINITELY a Big T trauma client... just when we think we have peeled back all the layers, more stuff and memories pop up.

I want to pretend that I don't need therapy at all and I'm just a questioner. But I think others might label me as a combo of the Big T and severe dissociation with awful attachment.

I hate even writing that.

The way she defaults 'client' to 'she' and quick categorizes people leads me to see another person who just wouldn't be my therapist. Just for fun typology, I don't see myself in any either.

she defaults 'client' to 'she'

Isn't it odd how we read things? The one I felt fitted me was described as male, as is another and two are gender neutral.

I know there have been lots of studies saying women ae more likely to develop PTSD, but I read something recently (it was looking at the new ICD 11 criteria) saying current diagnostic criteria were biased that way.

I think I'm the Next Developmental Step Client and Big T Trauma client.

I like this and yes I see myself. I'm the next developmental level client working to create myself outside of my family, trauma, and friends who are no longer really there for me. I'm always learning about how to get to the next step bit I'm afraid I'm the couple years instead of 3-8 months. It's been 17 months now but incredibly helpful the whole time and we still have material to cover.

I'm somewhere between Big T and Severe dissociation. I agree with @Kaia that the person who wrote this would never be a fit for me.

I am also Next Developmental Step Client and Big T Trauma client. I often worry about how long I am going to be and have been in therapy. The relationship is paramount and I am starting to feel like I am too attached to my therapist and not attached enough to friends or other people in my life. I am having panicky feelings about that. She is on my mind ALL the time and it's really getting to me. Last week, I felt like my T was annoyed with me being there and I can't stop thinking about it. Feeling scared about all this and wanting to cancel or pull back big time.
