Therapists and being terminated not on their terms:
https://www.psychotherapy.net/articl...-feelings,-too "One therapist friend of mine says, “I feel like an emotional prostitute sometimes. I get to roll around in the all the intense feelings and then I get left alone in the chair.” Therapist and "placebo effect" https://www.unk.com/blog/how-to-end-...-your-clients/ Of course, you can’t always tell exactly how many sessions a person will need to get over a depression, or to successfully stop drinking, but you can give them an indication. So I might say: "Many people can be helped within a few sessions and often times feel better even after a single session. (Remember the power of the placebo effect!)" Just plain delusional: http://www.yourtango.com/experts/dr-...or-should-i-go "while therapy is supposed to, and usually does, instill hope for the future" __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

Attunement in Hakomi Therapy: Bringing 'Self' to the Surface
Just ran across this. My t does this stuff.... never called it anything, but I recognize what she does in this article. In part: "The process of Hakomi therapy often includes internal exploration, eyes closed. For many, the therapist represents our first experience of our “witnessing self” (our nonjudgmental observer) and our attuned, compassionate parent." This. Oh my goodnes, this!! and "Many individuals arrive at therapy unaware of missing pieces, trying to complete a puzzle that has no form. A grounded, defined sense of Self begins to form when we see our traits, qualities, habits, and bodily movements reflected without judgment. We find missing pieces that may have remained invisible for a lifetime, until an attuned witness, with compassion, acknowledged, accepted, and echoed back to us these valuable and wanted aspects of Self." |

It reminds me of when I was a teacher--teaching in areas of town where there is more poverty was always more challenging because the kids would lack so many basic things (a good breakfast; sleep routines; basic supplies at home like books, paper, pencils; some were even homeless) that help children thrive in school. I know many, many teachers that start out in schools like these but eventually transfer to the schools in their metropolitan area where the parents are more well off. When my sister and I were in a lower income schools--we spent hundreds of our own dollars on various supplies of all sorts to fill in the gaps (pencils, books, treats/arts and crafts) that we just wanted our children to have. Along these lines--one article talked about how the author did not wants to work with HOUNDS (Homely Old Unattractive Nonverbal and Dumb) anymore because (especially) they weren't always getting paid. In a capitalist society, sometimes money talks. I have noticed that when I was without insurance I had to call about a dozen psychiatrists before I found one that was willing to treat me so maybe a big factor in the USA is that many HOUNDS are without good insurance?

This is an article I've just randomly encountered, with elements of CSA and related psychoanalytic therapy in adulthood - I thought it might be of interest to some here. I think it could also be a good one to initiate a discussion and critiques about therapy techniques and interpretations (I find it very controversial at least), but it contains maybe too heavy material (!) for an open forum discussion, so I will just post it on this thread.

Mental health care funding cuts and poor mh professional training put the most vulnerable clients at even greater risk-

Not sure about this article but it was interesting to read. I found her comments very rude and not boundaries but maybe it's a cultural issue |

I agreed with the author on setting boundaries for the therapist. I did not find it rude at all. So maybe it is cultural.

I think we should have boundaries with everyone including therapists but maybe I found the way she said or wrote those boundaries diaries as rude. Maybe it's that I would find them rude and plenty others wouldn't |

I found that these comments or boundary settings sort of assume that the therapist is a complete dumb-a... I can't see a reason why anyone would find it helpful to see a therapist to whom one needs to say things like that. I found the suggestions to role-play therapy session with a trusted friend especially ridiculous. Honestly, what would justify the need to role-play for therapy session?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for boundaries but that shouldn't be used as a justification for continuing to see useless therapists. |

I don't think there's anything wrong with boundaries but I thought some of the examples were really strange. Like "I'm here to work on my depression so don't ask me about my family" or "I have a history of eating disorder so don't ask me about food", sounds like a way to avoid facing important issues.

For me, if I am there because I want to fix X - then I am not going to talk to the therapist about Y unless the therapist (and they never did) can tell my how talking about Y will fix X. For me, I did not hire one of those guys to let them run roughshod over me.
