Possible Trigger

The experience of being attacked and abused by some others, including a psychologist (IRL) is said by some to help us grow I suppose it may do? (for one thing we become more discerning "judges" of character), as we are all still here and are survivors ... And most of us are hopefully working on new ....despite the ******** in life. I sometimes wish

there wasn't quite so much **** in life (this is not about anyone on pc)

My thoughts are with everyone especially those who are also dealing with medical ****

I wish life was simpler too and less painful for people whether it be mental or physical.

The best thing would still be to respected by everyone...sadly seems impossible almost.

I know how you feel, fuzzy. The whole, "you're being tempered, like steel, and are becoming stronger as a result" spiel lost it's allure years ago.

I'm all for being "tempered" like I'm made from marshmallow fluff for a while....How about you?

[Fuzzybear]

Possible trigger:

makes me wonder if some psychologists IRL do this consciously, maybe they think we are "strong" enough for them to abuse us
They would tend to "dismiss" the perceived "weaker" patients early on and possibly labelled as "Unsuitable" or NT I wonder how many of these "healers" IRL need to work on their Narcissism

I'm not meaning to discourage the newer members (or anyone) from therapy, the T I saw (IRL) was a bad apple

fortunately, procedures and "client" knowledge are both improving all the time

Thank you for raising the issue. We need to be aware that there are abusers everywhere, particularly people in power such as doctors, teachers, etc

I've seen a few therapists over the years. They ranged from mediocre to dreadful! I quit them all. They were more than willing to take my money. But none of them had any idea what to do with me. Part of the problem for me, especially more recently, is I believe that I'm older. I think I'm viewed as not worth really putting a whole lot of time & effort into. I get this. Resources are limited... as are the number of years I have left. But, if that is the way they really feel about it, I wish they'd just TELL ME, so that I would know where I stand. But, of course, they don't because they want the $$$...

The experience of being attacked and abused by a Psychologist broke 15 years of self-control and self-strengthening, supported by a GREAT GP and meds. The damage is deep and permanent. This behaviour followed closely the breaking of Trust by a long-term Therapist.

I believe I was unlucky to come across two so-called Professionals, I believe Therapy has a strong and valid place in helping people with Issues, but it should always be remembered the Therapist is the Employee. They are paid to assist us, by us. If we do not like the treatment or behaviour we have the power not to return and to go elsewhere. I never returned after one Session, but the irrepairable damage is done.

Choose your Therapist/Psychologist with care, healing and harm can be meted out in equal measure.

Thank you for sharing this, Dave. It takes much strength and courage to continue on after such "treatment"
