......well that is how this new psychologist I am seeing put it. I had to ask him what he meant by "screw over". First he said "You know....screw him over." Umm...no I don't know what you mean. Of coures crazy ideas are running around my head like actually screwing my therapist to reporting him(not sure for what). Finally he said, "screw him over by killing yourself."

WTF

When I am very depressed and suicidal I never think that I am screwing anyone over if I actually kill myself but I guess to him that would be the actually screw over any client can do to a therapist.

I just stared at him, cocked my head and said "oh"

He said from what I tell him, as a clinician, he should be reporting it and sending me inpatient but he does not feel scared at all that I am going to kill myself because I did not screw over my last therapist.

What a strange thing to say. If you had screwed over your last T (by his definition), then you wouldn't be seeing this one.

Like you, when I have those thoughts, it is never with the intention of "screwing" my T.

They are often a bit self centered - aren't they?

OMG this one is so full of himself. It has become my source of comedy once a week. Yeah I know I should be finding a new one.

OMG! I don't even have words to describe what I'm feeling about this..Please, run away from that A-hole and find some adequate help for yourself. Someone like him should not be practicing. He should be stripped off his license for what he said, but, alas, you don't have the evidence for the board..I'd run from him as fast as I could. But before that I'd tell him all I think about him as a professional.

I have been testing the waters with him. I sent him a link to a resource I mentioned in session and I said I would send it. No reply that he even received it. I sent him an email letting him now that I have been having so much trouble with coping lately that I was interested in trying Buspar or propranolol and what his thoughts were about this. No reply saying he received my email or even to mention we would disuss it next week. He just flat out refuses to reply. He never mentioned any rules about emails. Well I guess I know what the rules are now. It is a good thing I have zero attacment to him.

Oh he replied! I wonder if he is reading this post? No way.

"I have seen people take Propranolol for so many reasons. test anxiety, stage fright, hang overs, social anxiety. its pretty good beta blocker and is recommended over a benzo because it doesnt have the cognitive impairments associated with Xanax. Ask your doctor and give it a try. its very mild. you will not experience the comfort you described from the xanax, but it surely works to some degree.
hope that helps.
take care."

Now I need a doctor. It is a daunting task picking a doctor. I could not even make a decision on what color shirt to buy the other day so I bought all 8 colors. Geez wait until the bill comes in.

I took propranolol for a while and it was really helpful in getting me through each day. Xanax messed with my head when things were really bad.

I'm with you, krm. I could never trust a therapist who was so self-centered. I understand that a therapist very often sees it as a professional failure if a patient commits suicide, but to present it from that angle is either obnoxiously self-centered or manipulative.
Thanks for this!
