Couch 156: The Clock Strikes...

Next muffin! (One for the Ross Noble fans )

Depending on when we reckon my relationship with No. 3 to have ended—if it even has yet, who can say, really?—you’ve been with current t longer than I’ve been with any therapist.

You should tell her what you posted, just to mess with her head.

My t did not get Odyssey references OR Dr. Who references. And she works with teens. My kids and their friends are obsessed with Dr. Who (so I end up watching a lot of the Doctor), and I thought that surely she'd know about the TARDIS.

Sometimes I think the woman is just messing with me. Or she was homeschooled in an isolation chamber.

Oops. I was talking to my mom earlier and she was putting my son up on such a pedestal it was making me gag I swear, like he's still the perfect little boy that he used to be, and I sorta let it slip that he got a tattoo. She's on the phone with HIM now.... he's probably going to come yell at me for telling her... oh well

Twollop.

No need to be rude!

Just had the "pull your finger out, you know what you need to do to get better. Stop coming here and *****ing and making like its my fault you aren't getting better, BCM" talk from my T. I was totally confused because he sounded really anoyed but kept on smiling at odd times. So I have to think about what it si I need to do start to get this thing rolling. I am soo confused and a little hurt because he touched several sore spots but did nt seem to care.

It sounds to me like he needs to own his own frustration and recognise his own part in the collaborative process.
I don't think this is a normal or okay speech from a therapist and I'm sorry you were subjected to it.

Wow. I don't think that's ok from your T either. It's not that easy - if it were we wouldn't need Ts.

He didn't actually say *****ing but that was what he meant and it was after we had a conversation about my boundary violation and how I dont get to be angry at him through text but the text wasnt meant to be angry and somehow I forgot to bring up theh others and all in all it was a horrible session and I dont want to go back ever,

Hugs... just not going back seems to be a bad idea, though I think that maybe it would be time to look for another T... I don't like how your T treats you. It sounds like he's blaming you a lot for what you need (like e.g. weekly session)

FWIW if text is a method you communicate therapy issues through (ie not just scheduling) you get to express whatever emotions you want through text. If he doesn't like it he doesn't have to contract to allow texts. It's on him.

No I am not supposed to contact through text except for scheduling I really don't know why I do it.

Oh no! You don't have an old pair somewhere? Demunie

Nope... I mean I do but my eyes used to be way better... Sigh... I don't really have money to replace them but since I barely see without... Yay.

On second look... I might need completely new glasses...

Also vet told me to come by with dog anyway...

What you need is Hermoine Grainger

That made me laugh, thx

He's being too hard on you imo. You did it because you're hurting. You deserve kindness and patience, from yourself and from him.

I really want to go back to the time when it felt like he genuinely liked me and tried to help. Now I have found a therapy method that clicks with me he seems to be hesitant. I don't know whether it's because he needs more training in it or what. But he wants to wait til next year. Maybe he doesn't want to start things so close the end of the year. I miss when it was easy to talk to him.

How does anyone watch Indiana jones and the last crusade with poor concentration? I just looked down to answer a post and suddenly they weren't underground somewhere they were on a speedboat? What happened to the rats. I swear this is why I don't watch movies much

That’s me too & I just usually don’t bother to watch in the first place,

Oh no, how much would a new one and the eye assessment cost?

Around 500 probably... will go to the store after my doctors appointment and see if there's anything they can do
