well I finally called t, told him i need him to say positive things at the end of the session and he said he would..told him i feel crazy then worse leaving .that was on wednesday
then i called back on sunday and he called back early this afternoon and i told t i wasn't coming back to therapy; and that i felt like a wounded animal. T said therapy is a collaborative effort and that he was wrong and he would change that and i need to speak up more and then i said okay and i would think about it. then later tonight he calls again and has an opening and we could discuss it and work through it... told him, no, but thank you for calling and that i would probably be back. I don't feel like such a freak now or worthless... it feels good to know t cares thanks for every ones help and for listening

jbmomg-
Good job communicating your needs! That takes a lot of courage. Your T sounds like he really cares. Why wouldn't you take the opening? Did you schedule a new appointment? I'm glad you are feeling better about things.

Wow - it is HUGE to be brave enough to call T and tell him what you need. And you did it, and he heard you. That is awesome work

Haven't scheduled a new appointment yet; still a little apprehensive, The one thing i have learned about myself over the years is whenever i am given ideas or suggestions for me to try out, I am not one too just jump in; it is like i must first just wait, then put piggie toe in the water, then the next toe, then pull back and wait for the outcome and then if nothing bad happens I will try it again and maybe get all my toes in then again, pull back and then maybe half a foot...etc...does this make sense... it is the same thing with therapy...now I must wait a few days; test the waters so to speak make sure what i am feeling is true thanks for the hugs |

Stating your needs indicates huge progress! Nice work.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
