It would still be reflecting in their thinking and behaviors.
Sarmas, I'm so sorry that therapist acted scared of you. That could repeat an attachment with your mother, if she was an anxious mother. And about not being believed-that must have been so upsetting. Some of us, including me, have childhood traumas where we weren't believed. |
Same here. I also suffer from childhood trauma. I wasn't believed throughout my whole life by numerous people. I relied and trusted my therapist to be the one person to do so but once she didn't because she labeled me I found myself trying to prove myself. I'm so tired of proving myself. I spent 4 years trying to prove myself in so many ways of which she would discard most things I would say as being extreme and only listen to a few things. It was frustrating.
Sorry that you went through the same but this does create such an issue with clients. Then we are dealing the issues that we originally went into session for and now we are being labeled and mistreated. When you place your trust on your therapist and that's the response you get its so disappointing being that were already dealing with past disappointments and experiences. I'm not sure they're aware that this is the ultimate result. I think that they think that they're truly helping and that their approach is correct. That's that cookie cutter thinking.
