Yeah I hope so for you too @jamesle2015. Have you been able to set up an appointment for the second opinion?

Hi @Appleblossom

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

@TheVorticon 

Just reread first page of this thread.

At the time you posted it, it resonated a LOT with me.  So many attachment issues, that for decades I did not understand the full ramifications ...

Now I have just had another unsatisfactory - abusive end of therapuetic relationship, I am feeling again with you.  What is it, that people think they can judge the soul of another person.

No answers here ... sorry ... just hello.

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame

I'm sorry to hear that you had another negative and abusive therapy experience @Appleblossom 😞 When it goes wrong it can go so badly wrong and cause a lot of hurt with it. I hope you can heal from it because you deserve to heal, not be further hurt.

I think I've made some progress with my psych compared to the start of this thread (I'm reluctant to go back and read it) but tolerating my feelings about it is a daily battle, some days harder than others... Yet I think (hope) I've got a guy who's good at his job and good at allowing for not-knowing, correcting and adjusting (I say now, knowing I'm sure to flip out about it again at some point tomorrow).
Again I'm sorry that it seems that the person you were seeing couldn't do that for you.

@TheVorticon 

I did not know her for that long, but it still wasted time and money and hope to actually sort through things.

 

Its great you have someone who can adjust and correct for not knowing.

Of course they cant and should not know everything about their client's lives. Thats the nature of the work.  Dont reflect back unless it is the right time for you.  I do it periodically on all my threads, mainly to see how things have changed and it reminds me of the support I had.  So reflecting back often ends with me feeling grateful ... sigh ... I am not back there ... things are better now. etc
