So.. Therapy today

I had therapy a few hours ago. My therapist mentioned that she thinks i need something more to keep me from relapsing. I asked her if she meant ect, she actually said yes? I dont feel good thinking i might need that. She said shes going to talk to my psychiatrist about it and see what she thinks.

In my opinion, stay far away from ECT. :whale2::whale2::whale2:

ECT is scary. I would never do that, but that’s just me.

My therapist spent our last session continually asking me to identify signs that I’m heading towards a relapse and work on an intervention plan to calm myself down. I kept telling her there’s no need, I don’t have episodes any more. It was weird how insistent she was though.

I’m surprised he/she didn’t tell you to socialize more. That’s what I usually get told, although it’s not as much of an option during covid.

My therapist doesnt offer a lot of advice like that. She focuses on what i want to do about the problem. I really like her
