I Switched In Front Of A New Therapist And I Never Want To Go Back

I apologise for periods where the server closed briefly for 5 to 10 minutes, as I have needed to make changes where the server needed a full reboot. I have left this open for members to respond directly for any speed issues. I m slowly working through the problems, much of it is trial and error as to what works, what causes more issues.

Chat Disappears

Last question for the day I swear! Haha joined today with lots of questions. My brother had this exact same problem and I wonder is it common. Basically, you leave therapy for the week and spend half the week thinking about it, reflecting on things and almost thinking in the monologue you d use during a session. This is great, but how to you keep it at a healthy level? I ve not been in therapy very long and I know I m going to be in it for a while and don t want to get stuck on a one track mind.

Ptsd And Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosis

I am having a conflict with my therapist that is seriously messing up what is otherwise a wonderful relationship. It s about how often he doesn t follow through on what he says he is going to do, and takes it as just how he is and something I have to learn to live with. For someone with trust issues as big as mine, that is next to impossible. I am looking for information to forward him about how important consistency is when working with survivors of early Abuse with trust issues. Any ideas?

When I Thought I Was Doing Ok

I got a decent career break recently, and it felt pretty good at first, although scary and daunting at the same time. It s a big deal for me, because I spent a lot of years doing low prestige jobs that embarrassed me and barred me from socializing with people I wanted to socialize with.
