My session was awful. Horrible. I'm still trying to process it. I will say my t was probably glad, in that way only a therapist can be, to see me break down into sobbing tears more than once.

I don't know if I'm going back. I'm giving myself permission to not decide that right now as I take some time to lick my wounds and contemplate how everything just changed.

I'm sorry to hear that it didn't go well. I think it's wise to wait to make any decisions. Can you say what happened? Sorry you are hurting so much.

hugs

I will post more in a bit, I'm still on my way home and posting from my phone right now. Mostly because I NEED to talk but doing so in front of the driver is, uh, awkward. Still can't stop crying.

She did most of the talking. When I did talk, she interrupted me. A lot. She was sarcastic and condescending. She didn't hear most, if any of what I had to say.

Awww Zoo I am so sorry I wish I could give you a real hug right now. I think I would have cried too if I felt my T was being condesending and sarcastic towards me, as well as talking over the top of me we are here for you when you are ready to talk about it.

I am so sad. T did a really good job of pretending like she cared about me, or liked me, for the past 2 years. It is painful and startling to see the reality is different.

So much of this is tied in with my abandonment stuff and with issues with my mother. So much. I know this could be an opportunity for me to finally work through some of that stuff, but at the same time I am so stung by Ts words and her demeanor towards me that I don't know how I could force myself to go sit in her office again.

Unbelievably, stupidly, I want to call her. I want to tell her how much I'm hurting. I want to tell her how I don't trust her anymore. I want to tell her that I knew this would happen all along and she TRICKED me into believing her and trusting her, only to have her hurt me in the end just as I feared. And I know those are my thoughts and feelings and not the reality of what happened. But, shoot. It sure FEELS real.

I am almost literally fighting with myself. I know calling her won't help. I KNOW IT WON'T HELP. And I am almost overwhelmingly temtped to do it anyway. I can't see how I can sit alone with these feelings.

Damn. Why am I so horrible that no one can handle being in a relationship with me, not even a trained professional? Wow.

Hey, I said that to my T once. I told her I blamed her and it was her fault that I was in the condition I was in. I told her she should have known better and she should have warned me. etc. etc. etc.

I just blasted her and then I said, "And, so what do you have to say for yourself?" I think it's good to express what we're feeling. that's the whole point, isn't it?

ok, this is what I'm feeling right now, and it is almost knocking me over. I am so horrible that nobody will love me. Ever. I feel sorry for my kids because they have to live with me and they don't have a choice and anyone who ever does have a choice chooses to leave.

I often feel this way so I can understand how it feels. I don't have kids but I bet yours love you a lot and would be heartbroken if anything ever happened to you
Thanks for this!

Are you sure it won't help to be able to express your thoughts and feelings? You probably can't change what she thinks or feels and you can't change what happened but you can at least give voice to yourself. And that can help, I believe. But, only you know for sure.
Thanks for this!

Golly zoo......... I could've typed these very words. I'm going through this with you if it helps. I'm really, really sorry you are feeling so sad and conflicted. I wish I knew how to make you feel better. I'm sorry I don't, but please remember you have friends here and they will listen to you and help you through this heartache. They will help you think in a healthier manner and keep you thinking straight when you veer off course because of the emotional turmoil you're feeling now.

(((((((zoo)))))))
Thanks for this!

Don't call her...at least not yet. I think inside you just want to do anything that might make this situation better and to stop your pain and if you ring now she might actually say something to make you feel worse. When your emotions have relaxed a bit, maybe even after you have slept on what happened and you still feel you need to ring her then maybe it will be the right choice then decisons made when emotions are very high are usually not the best
Thanks for this!

Zoo, find something to do that will distract you from this for awhile. Stewing over it will just send you into a spiral. You need some mental "space" from this so that you can look at it more objectively. Let yourself calm down for a bit before you do anything with what you are feeling.
Thanks for this!

How horrific.....someone who is supposed to support and help you...to disrespect and abuse you further. You could send her a letter of restorative justice: This is what you did; this is how it made me feel.

SHAME on her!

Do you want to share what she said? Do you want to share what you want to say to her?

Sometimes writing it ALL out on PC helps me. I don't feel alone with it anymore, and even though it doesn't "fix" it, it lightens the load a bit. Just to be able to keep coming back and saying "it still hurts, I'm still scared" and have people hear me and GET it.

I agree with Chris...don't call yet. Wait. Breathe. Type. Breathe some more.

I so know the "I'm unlovable" place, and it's the most painful place for me. It feels SO REAL when I'm in it.

I love you. And I am glad I have a relationship with you. And that is the Truth.

Thanks for this!
