I am very angry. My therapist finally got back to me today. She says it’s fine I canceled this week and that she can’t schedule me in until MAY now!! This is getting ridiculous what is she trying to pull?! I can’t handle this anymore. To me it’s just grossly insensitive.
AND she didn’t even talk about the learning aid program, which she was supposed to set me up with LAST MONDAY. Getting real tired of this.
Did she give you a reason why?
No!! She just said I can’t see you again until May!
And she knows there’s like only one day and time I can come, and she says she tries to leave it open for me. So unless she says she’s going on vacation for 3 weeks I’m not happy that she just dropped me.
Not to mention she didn’t bring up my soul-baring message about things I’ve experienced at ALL. No mention, no I got your email, we’ll work on this, nothing. (Which makes me SO less likely to ever talk about THAT again) Nada. I’m about a hair’s breadth away from firing her. I don’t even care if it’ll screw me over having to find a new one I’m just mad now. This therapist has been of absolute 0 use to me as of yet, aside from acting as someone to talk at.
Understandably. That’s just bazaar. Starting to think she may be the one that needs therapy. I would look around at this point. That’s just me.
I just emailed her back sort of angrily and if she takes two weeks to respond this time she’s gone.
Sometimes it just a question of finding the right Therapist.
I’m sorry for you Anna. 
hug.
I can’t seem to find the right one. This is very difficult.
the more therapists I go through the more people will know about me
the more therapists I go through the more I have to bring up my darkest secrets that I haven’t even shared with my closest loved ones only to receive no response or no really useful response and that just breaks me down every time it happens
Getting disillusioned with the mental health field. You know one of my voices, the Professor, when I first decided to see a therapist said “Why would you do that? Who could help you better than us? I’m the only therapist you need.” And honestly the freaking voices in my head have been of exponential more use to me than anyone in the mental health field has. No one has any idea what they’re really doing. With me at least.
Honestly I allow my voico keep me company and guide me. I’m kind of glad they here unless a bad one comes out. I’m not saying you should listen to them but I would roll with things a little bit
Yeah…my issue now though is keeping up with my pdoc visits. I don’t mind the new pdoc I’m seeing, she’s been helpful so far, she was the one who thought to put me in a learning aid program in the first place. And she wanted to get me on Gabapentin…lol that’ll be awkward going to her if I bump into my therapist I left. Like running into an ex.
I’ve been in that boat before. Just be cordial. If she’s an adult she will understand:)
@Anna if I were you, I would do two things, first I would find a new therapist. Ask the pdoc to recommend someone, tell them your problem, it’s unacceptable . Secondly, to avoid “spreading your story all over town” limit your discussion to recent problems leaving the past out of the picture.
Thanks for the advice I didn’t even think to ask the pdoc for a recommendation.
I think another issue I have with CBT is it doesn’t really deal with problems stemming from the past it always focuses on the present. But I would really like someone to help me decipher my past and discuss it with because there are a lot of things from it that affect me today. If I do decide to do therapy again I’ll probably check out psychotherapy.
Yeah I think you need a doc who is really good, and willing to give you the attention needed.
Hope you can find one.
This one probably doesn’t know what to do.
I have had a psychotherapist that is also skilled in CBT. There has been a lot of **** to go through, I am slowly seeing results although on my dark days I will say that I am not. We have been working together for seven years now. It has been a give and take. Times have come that I have been mad at him, but we have always talked them out. It was three years into therapy before I said that I was physically and sexually abused by my parents. You need someone you can trust, I trusted no one…most times still don’t .
I got my tdoc from a referral from my pdoc.
They work together so it makes my care even better.
@Anna
hang in there… 
take care 
Ok so she responded to my email. Still gave no explanation for long time in between. She offered me a couple other dates/times to come in but both were 2 weeks away instead of 3 weeks which is not good enough, I have already not met with her for 3 weeks as of now. I did not respond.
She tells me she contacted the learning aid group and is setting it up and it should be done by Monday. I’m planning on letting her set it up and then dropping her, sound good?
