I don't think I'm all that hard to get on with so I never really thought not being able to choose my own therapist would be problematic. I really just need to feel that the person is on my side for it to work.<br /><br />Pan, I just can't get my head around what is going on. She was great for the first two sessions, so she obviously does have the skills in her. It's like somethings just switched in her. Or something I've said or done or she's read has made her decide I'm a time waster and now she doesn't have the time of day for me. I don't know! I really hope it is just time that's needed.<br /><br />Ruth, that's cool that your daughter can do that. It's very interesting, the link between mind and body etc. I've had reflexology done before found it really great. <br /><br />CI thanks for reading! Maybe I'd be better off just yelling at her. She'd probably just yell over me though.

Her constant interrupting and lack of response to your very thoughtful email has officially pissed me off.<br /><br />I'm really glad that you got the referrals, so that's something.<br /><br />You've been amazing and patient with her when I would've yelled already (well maybe only in my head)CimmerianInkhttp://www.bipolardid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-84515300846210355172012-02-01T04:52:36.601+00:002012-02-01T04:52:36.601+00:00Hopefully the referrals will be helpful. My daugh...Hopefully the referrals will be helpful. My daughter is a massage therapist and she learned amazing things on how to help people that are sick or traumatized. That is something that I think would be interesting to investigate. I am sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with your new therapist. I can really empathize with that. My new therapist and I are still struggling and I have gone to him over a year. I hope yours goes better. Crisis complicates so many things. <br />Take care, RuthRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083142637240943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-42947694154994502072012-02-01T00:42:48.321+00:002012-02-01T00:42:48.321+00:00Oh for Christ's sake. I think you have been ex...Oh for Christ's sake. I think you have been <b>exceedingly</b> tolerant towards her, when you could have quite reasonably have lost it right in her face. That she can't even be arsed to respond to an email - a reasoned, polite one at that - must be so frustrating.<br /><br />I learnt something from my NHS therapy, which is a bit of a laugh considering the gibbering mess it ultimately turned me into. That was that psychologists - even good ones - don't necessarily make good therapists. C, my NHS psychologist, was one of the most insightful people I'd ever met, but in retrospect I'm not sure he helped me much. My current therapist, Paul, is - as far as I know - <b>not</b> a psychologist, despite his knowledge of the discipline. And he's brilliant.<br /><br />So I'm just wondering could she be brilliantly qualified on paper, but less brilliantly qualified in reality. Interrupting a client, turning things around on them - that's not good.<br /><br />But, in her defence, maybe it'll just take time getting used to each other - perhaps she's exploring boundaries or trying to learn details of your personality/ies or something. Either way, I really hope things improve with her soon.<br /><br />It's great to hear about the referrals, at least :) Wishing you lots of luck with them.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Pan xPandorahttp://serialinsomniac.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-25409191865561757242012-01-31T23:18:10.025+00:002012-01-31T23:18:10.025+00:00Of course you want to be heard and respected Candy...Of course you want to be heard and respected Candy. That is a minimum requirement isn't it. <br /><br />This sounds difficult. It's also difficult to start a new relationship while in a crisis.<br /><br />I cannot understand why she wouldn't reply to your email. If my T doesn't reply in a day, I get very upset, never mind several days. I don't get it.<br /><br />Glad you got some referrals at least. Not being able to choose your T must be difficult. <br /><br />Your relationship with Adam sounds complex, and it's too bad NP can't take her time to understand. <br /><br />Thinking of you.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741118126298552722noreply@blogger.com
