I am tired of going to the T because there is no real discussion on the T part. It is just me talking about my week and what I did or what im gona do. And when I bring up some issues like the fact that I am fearful of everything it seems, she just try's to change the subject.

Are your T sessions helpful? What do you discuss?

My T will ask about my voices or if I still see things, but it is only for a minute as I will not go into a lot of detail. I do not like to talk about those things. IDK. Maybe it is all my problem and my T is doing a great job. IDK. What ever!

T and i talk about past trauma mostly. we process things that ive been through. we talk about my flashbacks. sometimes we talk about what the voices say. he isnt opposed to talking about what they say and what it might mean. we try to find the source of the voices. we do a lot of work on the different parts of myself: the healthy adult part, the parent part, and the child part. we try to join the parts together and take care of them. i do collages for him as assignments. sometimes we sit on the swings and talk or play cards in his office while we meet. he is very accommodating. i can talk to T about anything. even sexual things like masturbation. our relationship is strong and there is a lot of trust. nothing is off limits.

My son's T sounds like yours, lil_angel. He wants to stop going. It costs a lot, and he doesn't find it useful. She insists he needs to come, but I think it's just a way of checking up on him to see how he's doing - not to actually help him get better.

With my nurse we talk about anything, like how my week has been and how I'm feeling, she said I can tell her anything. Mostly I talk about gang stalking.

When my nurse was away, I got a different nurse though and she didn't like me talking about gang stalking, she just said there were other things to talk about.

Maybe my problem is I'm afraid of talking about anything that matters. I can not deal with the emotions. when we have talked about any past trauma I end up majorly depressed and then get suicidal, so I tend to stay away from any major issues. IDK maybe she just gave up on me talking so that is why she just sits back and does not talk much to me. She just looks at me a lot and it drives me nuts. I feel like I'm being picked apart and like she does not think I have an illness, maybe I don't and it is all just in my head. Maybe all the voices I hear and the things I see are simply real and not anything to worry about.

Fear is the main issue I have right now. I'm afraid to drive, to walk, to go out side, to exercise, to work in the yard, to basically do anything alone. I'm afraid to go to sleep, I'm afraid to be awake. I'm afraid of the dark and I'm afraid of the sun. I'm just afraid and I do everything with some kind of fear factor involved. Some things I do even though I am terrified. And no I do not feel better about it when I'm done, I just am thankful I made it through and I'm still alive.

I quit going because I can ***** about my husband for an hour a week for free with my mom, and she doesn't answer everything with, "How do you think HE feels about that?" I went to a partial hospitalization program for 7 weeks. I think I've worked through my issues. Bring on the meds.

As far as i know most therapist will not discuss hallucinations or delusions. They see those as largely medical issues, Also if you were to define your relationship with him/her based on discussing this kind of stuff, nothing practical would get done. Hallucinations and delusions if not controlled by meds can be endless and not very relevant. I have to be honest i am also of the view that discussing the finer points of delusions etc is not good for you. What a therapist should be able to do is to help you put in place practical measures to reduce your hallucinations, delusions,etc. Medication is a large part of that , having an educated, understanding household, finding a purpose to your everyday , getting involved with training and rehabilitation schemes , improving your coping strategies , . All this is trying to get round or to minimise the effects of your illness on your daily life.

I am aware of a sway of people who believe that sz is psychologically motivated , childhood trauma , etc. i personally don't believe that is founded or helpful.

Good luck
