From my therapist has caused emotional flashbacks which in return is triggering me to SI.

Are you comfortable elaborating on that? Do you know why you are being put off by your therapist? Is it possible that she is working with someone in an immediate crisis?
If you think you are being pushed away, ask your therapist why. Unless you do, you will be relying on those flashbacks and your mind to fill in the blanks. Things aren't always what they appear to be. At the height of my suicidal period, I got a call at work from the therapist I had then. He said that he had to cancel because he had a patient in crisis that needed attention. I felt completely betrayed. That particular day had been bad and that call was the last straw. I walked out on my job. All I could think was "I'm in my own crisis!". He didn't know, nor did I ever tell him that I walked out on my job. Point being, its better to ask then feel put out or less important than the other patients. Sam2 |

I've noticed lately that I interpret things wrong a lot of the time. I think my T is blowing me off or mad at me... Has your T responded more to your email? Or has he stopped responding? I know you said you will see him Monday, have things changed since the last email? I'm only saying this because of the topics of the other posts. ((hugs))

He used to check in by e-mail on the weekend asking how I am doing. He stopped doing that. Yes I understand he has a life and other clients if that is the case. I feel like I am being taught a lesson. Well lesson learned.....don't trust and be very suspicious of anyone showing sincere care. You can't give a ton of nurturing support and then just stop. You need to explain to your clients with attachment and abandonment issues that you will be diminishing extra support. I am trying to be adult about it but an exile has been triggered because of it.
Yes I see him Monday and I will be in blocking mode, sarcastic, obnoxious you hurt me I won't let you in mode.

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