I accidentally gave T a portion of my journal entry that wasn't meant for her eyes...
 . I was in a rush and pulled excerpts from my journal I keep on my computer and pasted them into a blank document for my T...I was in such a rush i didnt fully check over the excerpts before I printed them and handed them to her...I just realized this morning what I'd done...the portion I MEANT to take out was about my tendency towards substances. She knows about the alcohol but she doesn't know about the other stuff. I figured she doesn't need to know because I don't think I have a problem (I do realize that I take them outside of their intended purpose, but I don't seek them out I don't do anything outrageous to get them...if I have them i have them, if they are within reach I will take them)...sigh I dont know what to do. I am so stupid. In the future I have to remember to pull the excerpts the night before so I have time to check it over...Now she is going to analyze this and read waaay too much into it. She's probably going to want to dump me..I want to call her up and tell her to throw it out, but she probably already read it...OMG I am sooo stupid! I dont know what to do. I definitely dont want to go back next week. I think I am going to call and cancel

Tell her you mistakenly included some classified material and that she should not read it unless she wants a visit from the FBI.

When things like this happen to me (and they do), if I can just go in there anyway, i'm always amazed at what comes out of it in the end. Yr T is going to be kind and gentle and supportive with you, and show that you have nothing to fear. i know it sounds very odd, coming from *me*, but hang onto your trust even if with yr fingernails and go... you can do it!

I'm sure it will be okay. You may have opened up an avenue that will be very healing and rewarding. It's also okay to let her know you didn't intend to give her that part of your journal. It is true she may think it was subconciously intentional and that's okay too. Everything and anything is important in therapy.

don't cancel - I've done this and although I was embarrased it worked out for the better - mine was an email - I used to put how I felt in an email to the staff psych (standing on the edge of a strom waiting for it to overwhelm me) and then delete it - once I accidentaly sent it and before I could retrieve it he read it and replied (he wasnt even meant to be in that day!)
Hang in there - it will work out - explain that you left it by acident and take it from there. P7 (and you are not stupid ok! ) |

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