Ouch.

She said "Well did you know that he thought that you were Bipolar?"
I said "No"
She said "He referred you to me because he thought that you were Bipolar, needed meds, and was lost with what to do with you. Why did you think he referred you to me?"
I said "He thought that I was either Bipolar or had Borderline Personality Disorder and that I needed meds."
She said "Well, you can always go back to him if you want..."
I said "Why would you say that?"
She said "Well you said he didn't lose his patience with you or get mad at you."
Thanks T, are you trying to get rid of me and just aren't sure how to do it? You told me that when you have a patient that you don't want to see anymore you try to push them away from you and make them not want to see you anymore. Is this what you are trying to do with me?
It hurts.  |
WTF?? We are here for you, Cats. I must say that your T who is unknown to me is very high on my isht list!! This is amazing! Wow! Unbelievable! I am not one to encourage someone to leave a T, but wow! You are very strong and brave, Cats. I hope you find the best solution to these issues your having with therapy. Therapy should only rattle us because it forces us to deal with our demons, not because the T is an *****. You deserve a warm, caring, and supportive T that helps you heal, not worsen your suffering. Your T may have been that way in the past, and if you continue seeing her, I pray she returns to her old self.
I am so annoyed for you, and I feel your pain. She deserves far more than a foot stomping or slashing of the tires. She is bullying someone in a less powerful position, and I so wish there were someone at her level to put her in her place. I hope your old T is able to do that, or is able to give you the tools to communicate how you feel and what you expect and need from a T. I hope, since you are very attached to your T, that she can meet your expectations and needs, rather than delay your healing or, worse, hurt you.
