Oh yeah, definitely an addiction! I think for me because I have no friends and my family hates me, so it's awesome to come here and talk to people who know exactly what I am going through. I know my story is not unique but it's different knowing that and seeing it. Does that make sense? |

Take some deep breaths before going in and tell yourself you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. If he can not honor your request for care then it's time to move on, because you do want to feel better. Now if he's doing this fro free you may want to give him some slack but if you are paying for a service and treatment plan he needs to provide the service to you.
Your story is unique, no one has gone through the exact same things that have caused you so much pain. So it is unique. I think we all want each other to feel better and realize it takes work and a commitment to make progress. Therapist can't fix this for us, but they can help us with tools to work on ourselves and help us through stuck points.
