Hmmmmmm......
For some reason an unwanted memory has come to mind...

A shrink who I saw some time ago used to often tell a friend of mine how she was "doing well"...

A mean therapist I saw told me categorically "no she isn't"

I wonder... Is it sometimes "better" if a doctor or therapist isn't always brutally "honest" ... Without compassion

Btw that same shrink wasn't helpful to me, I guess the shrink thought I was "stronger" - more able to handle "reality" - or his version of it.

He told me there was "no point" in seeing him more often than ...

****. If I knew then what I know now...

(This is not about anyone on PC...

Sometimes I wonder if shrinks are only in it for the money and they like to hear themselves talk.

Why is a shrink able to divulge how you are doing to a friend? Or did you give permission?

It was wrong on all counts, imo, neither of them should have spoken about her to me..(or to anyone!). Especially that therapist

This wasn't the only betrayal of trust. I don't know why I even posted.

Hah, I've never had a shrink tell me I'm doing well. Although my most recent one that I just started with is totally awesome because she recognized how hard I'm working to get better.

only the doctors and judges tell me im fine, the first therapist looked at me like she saw what was wrong - even i didnt know at the time...
but she had to leave of course, my healing wasnt ready for me apparently... the second therapist was a scary witch like woman... maybe she was a nice person, but i was terrified... she didnt say maybe 3 words to me in the 2 meetings i agreed to try to see her... who the heck tries to help someone but just stares at you the whole 45 minutes...
sometimes i wish i could remember what happened, but i dont really want to - because i know i just started talking what seemed like really fast, about who knows what? was i talking about ponies and monster trucks? was i saying that the room seemed small? did i spill everything about all of my traumas? is that why she didnt say anything?

im scared of what my medical record has in it :/ or what they talked about behind my back

You can always ask for a copy of your records.

And don't worry too much...pdocs are notoriously weirdos,.in my experience. And they terrify me too. I never know what to say to them.
