Therapy went GREAT My new therapist is around my age and is very easy to talk to. She like a good laugh and is easy to relate to. She saw that I looked TERRIFIED of her in the beginning, so I thought it fair for me to explain to her why. I explained to her that I was TERRIFIED of therapists ever since that one called the cops on me when I was suicidal and the cops corned me and talked nasty to me and I ended up fighting everyone and got a felony (Since pardoned and expunged) from all of that and that now I was TERRIFIED and untrusting of therapists because of that.

She was GREAT.......She told me that in her agency that they do not call the cops or ambulance on suicidal people. She said instead, they call in a person specifically trained in handling suicidal people and that he will talk to the client and assess their state of mind. She said sometimes only a suicide contract is needed if he can calm them down through talking, if not, and if they really need to go to the hospital, that he would take them in his car and stay with them so that it is less scary and so they do not freak out. I was sooooooo relieved to hear that. It makes me trust her much, much more. She said I could tell her anything and that she would handle it very gently.

I feel sooooo much better. Thanks for the support
