Hi eden, the counsellor before him........*****!!!! Not only is that so unprofessional to be saying that, but where is the empathy in that, that counselors are supposed to, of all people, feel??!!!
Sounds like she had real problems of her own!!! So I know it might be really hard, but please try not to take that personally, it clearly shows her faults within that comment not yours!!!
And the current psychologist........the few fights you've had.........the concerns about them being your fault.........well he's there to understand/support/help you and if that wasn't happening, or not happening in the right way for you, then how is the conflict all your fault??? Although sometimes conflicts can come up as a natural part of the process, and that doesn't have to mean in the slightest that either of you are wrong, that the conflicts are wrong or that they are stopping you from moving forward. It can all be part of that moving forward. I don't know if that's the case in your situation though, just something to think about, that's all.
And the fear in raising your concerns about your sessions and the way he seems to be coming across to you.......do you think it would it help if you went in to the next session with an written agenda to discuss?? Might help you feel a bit more "in control"?? Even try writing those concerns down in full, try to "detach" emotionally yourself a little and "just" read them off??
So just some thoughts........
And I am sorry you're having such a hard time.........and don't forget at least we definitely want you around, OK??!!
