My therapist started to chastise me today about hanging up the phone on her. I did that so I wouldn’t yell at her. I talked to that organization for 25 years sometimes twice a week. I never opened up. I don’t believe in opening up like that to another unless you are in love and I think instinctively everyone is the same. Why should I bare my soul to someone who is possibly not going to be there in a week? I’m serious, the turnover is that great. I’ve had 50 therapist/counselors. They just don’t pay enough. And I’ve talked so much it’s unhealthy. I think it’s wrong to expect me to continue, I’ve talked 10,000 hours, I should be an expert, lol. I may have to switch clinics to one who doesn’t require me to see a therapist. Maybe the clinic I’m at now isn’t helping me. When I talk to my pdoc next week she will probably bring up my record of yelling at people, I’ve done it a number of times over the decades. I hate them talking down to me debasing me. There are other forces at work here. I’m not responsible. NCR! Otherwise I’m fine.
Probably not unhealthy, unless you made up stuff again and again until you started believing it.
We need to decompress and complain. I wish I had the option of having people listen to my ramblings without the fear of being judged or frowned upon. But where I live, therapy is never free.
I think therapy over the phone is impossible. If you cant see how someone is reacting to your questions etc its easy to make assumptions (applies to both parties)
I had some phone conversations with someone who was supposed to help with MH people find purpose and I was very close to hanging up on her because I felt like she was constantly talking down to me like I was naught a school kid even though I was calling because I was suicidally depressed etc.
I ended up making a big ass complaint about how terrible a job she did with 3 specific examples and they seemed pretty sorry I had such a bad time and said that she would get more training etc.
