What are your expectations of your therapist working with your BPD? Is there anything you fear going into counseling? I'd just like some insight as an aspiring counselor.  |
I will see my psych next week and I look forward to this. We are upping my mood stabilizer, as I can only take a tiny bit of antidepressant. I will ask him to refer me to a therapist in case I get into any trouble in my daily living. I had a wonderful free therapist for 4 mos. when I had PTSD. I will be forever grateful to her. I had a psychologist for a few months but he was asleep most of the time, a very old fellow, too old (77). The wonderful free therapist referred me to a couple of counselors but they did not work out, a big joke. I have written the following about a bad therapist I had for a long time. When I left, I did not say goodbye to her. You can guess what her last words were to me!
THE SORRY THERAPIST
I’m sorry, so sorry
I apologize
I’m sorry for all of
Your misfortunes
I’m so sorry, so very sorry
I’m sorry I’m a therapist
‘Cause I’m a sorry one
I’m sorry I exist
As I cannot help you
At all
All I can do is say
I’m sorry
Over and over
And over and over
I’m so sorry.
Oh, so sorry.
I’m sorrreeeee.
