How do you know it's safe to share the intimate details of our lives with a therapist.
I don't particularly care for my therapist but in order to see the doc, I need to see the therapist. I miss my old T, she was so much better. I live in constant fear that the new T will have me sent away because of the thoughts I have (nothing violent). I'm afraid of being taken away from my kids because of this illness (schizophrenia). I want so badly to be able to trust a therapist so I can get some help but I'm too afraid to open up so instead we discuss the weather for $$/hour.
I also worry my pdoc will become irritated with me and dump me because my meds aren't working as well as they should. Who wants to doctor someone that isn't getting better. I'm afraid she'll give up on me and I'll never get better.
I've been seeing the T & pdoc for a year and they still don't know everything that goes on in my head. I'm afraid of being a let down I did just type up some talking points for my next therapy appt. I hope it goes well.
