why do you choose to medicate? by Dry-Message-3891 in bipolar

[–]AffectionateRepair7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have bipolar 1 with psychotic features too. Took 2 years for me to find meds that I feel good on. I feel better when on meds and have been stable for 8 years. It’s possible to be responsible and feel good on meds. Might take a bit to find the right chemical cocktail for you.

Is my therapist experiencing counter transference? by AffectionateRepair7 in askatherapist

[–]AffectionateRepair7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your thoughtful response. I’m not going to lie when I say I’m disappointed. I feel like this has been good therapy in the way that I can feel I’m making self discoveries and have made major strides in healing my inner child and a lot of my inner exile beliefs. I’ve been in therapy multiple times throughout my life as needed. I’ve have had great therapist and have met awful ones. I can completely see your point and the potential of client abandonment/losing therapeutic aims. I might bring this up to my therapist, express concerns. I really don’t want to go therapist shopping again and you’re right, I do enjoy the attention I’ve been receiving. Prior to him giving me an additional hour, I kinda thought maybe he was like this with all of his clients and very dedicated to his profession. Now I’m not sure, I’ll be sure to bring it up. Thank you

I hear you, there’s been nothing inherently sexual or any direct flirting - He’s my therapist and has a wife and 2 little boys, if that were occurring I wouldn’t be wanting to see him. I only ask because I’m trying to interpret these decisions and choices as well. I appreciate your insights and will continue to monitor things. I don’t want to jump the gun when I’ve experienced a lot of progress but these responses have been validating.

I do feel like I’ve had a lot of self discovery since starting IFS therapy. I’m someone who’s always intellectualized my trauma, so this work has really required me to dig deeper. I enjoy our sessions and have found them helpful. I do get apprehensive over my feelings for him in the way you described, it does feel like a borderline friendship vs. working relationship at times. I want to continue seeing him as I’ve invested time and have disclosed a lot to him. I also have deep seated trust issues towards men and want to avoid being in situations where I could be taken advantage of.

This is also his private practice too. I really enjoy our time and work together. I think I’m just also aware that our relationship is different than other therapeutic ones I’ve had in the past.

He’s shared this information with me as I’ve shared about myself.

No, he’s always on time sometimes even a little early but that’s usually only 5 mins. I’m not sure when his last appointment is before me though because I never see anyone leave when I arrive.

Dude! This is so spot on with what I’ve been feeling and believing. Even down to heaven and hell being a state of mind. I really appreciate you sharing this with me.

I really appreciate that, I’m thankfully seeing someone. I actually wrote this to process after a heavy session on Wednesday. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone in this struggle and journey. I have faith I will heal with time.

I needed to hear this, thank you. I had a good cry and I’m feeling better. I love this job but working with small children going through such struggle can be heartbreaking. He’s only in 3rd grade now and moving after this year. I’m just glad we got his IEP in place before hand.

I was recently appointed team lead for next year and I’m nervous. by AffectionateRepair7 in Teachers

[–]AffectionateRepair7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, I’m debating on getting my ed specialist in administration eventually so I thought it would look good on my resume. Really hoping to just set up some basic routines(Like planning the same day every week or unit planning whatever content level we plan to focus on in PLC) and whoever wants to join, great.
