Ditched my therapist today?

Post Reply New Topic

In my situation I have some co-mobid issues. I have anger management issues, sexual issues and issues dealing with empathy. I have "exploded" in the past and i want to have someone at least "on the back burner" in the event that something happens. I'm extremely sensitive to things that happen around me, they seem to affect me a lot.

I went to see one once but I'm never sure what I'm supposed to say to people to be honest. So it's a bit of a waste of time for me.

To everyone who's mad at me for what I said:

If you've met one NT, you've met one NT.

If you jump all over me for saying not all therapists and NTs are always bad, you're doing the same thing to me most of them do.

Please don't be clones and attack me because I don't fit in perfectly.

And I didn't mean you Babybird. You were sweet how you said what you felt without making me feel bad. Thank you for that.

^^Oh it's fine ^^

I didn't realise there was anything heated going on, to be honest.

Same as babybird. I don't see any reason for getting mad in anything you said

It clearly looks like the OP's therapist was useless, undedicated and only after money.

Personally I have had good and bad experiences with therapists, but the bad ones were simply useless and the good ones were really helpful. They helped me with my anxiety issues, and I am really happy about my current counsellor. For me it is not the same as being able to discuss your problems with "any intelligent person". My problems are just too persistent and deep for that. I have a partner and few friends, but even if they mean me well, they can grow tired if I constantly speak about my problems. I am a bit bothered about their reactions, but mostly I care about them and I am ethically concerned that it is just not fair for me to constantly dump my autistic anxious issues on them. On the other hand, my counsellor is there for exactly that. That's her job, she gets some money and/or training frrom listening to me, and I feel completely comfortable with opening up to her. Moreover, when she became my counsellor she committed herself to cope with what is in my mind, and I am think I am honouring that commitment by being as honest and explicit as I can with her.

I don't think he was necessarily poaching me for money. I feel he was simply not skilled enough for the task at hand and/or not skilled enough in general. Which is why he indicated of transferring me to someone else. But yes, in the field of psychiatry there are a lot of quacks.

^THIS, EXACTLY THIS^
