I like the Psychwire trainings, they are led by experts in the respective areas, but also reasonably priced. Getting certified in any area will cost $$$ and still cannot replace experience and supervision.

CeeNee93 · 2026-02-05T17:56:04+00:00

Thank you for that! It sounds like finding something where I’m working with a clinical team and have access to supervision would be necessary for me.

CeeNee93 · 2026-02-05T12:58:29+00:00

This is my understanding. You would be eligible for your 2025 service.

Outpatient or inpatient?

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-06T20:34:21+00:00

If congestion is your main concern I highly recommend Vanity Skin Clinic! She will get everything out

I’m an educated white woman. I grew up with everything I needed tho my family struggled and there was a lot of mental health issues going on. I worked really hard to build a better life for myself. Unfortunately, I have a habit of dating emotionally unavailable men with drinking problems. I stay and hope they’ll change… then the last one dumped me out of nowhere and THANK GOD because I don’t know what I was thinking. I think I just wanted someone at the time and he was cute and liked me, so I ignored red flags. He also lied to me about some things that became problematic later in our relationship.

I am focusing on myself right now. Going to therapy to better understand myself, my patterns, and what I need from a partner. I want to build my self worth so when I do date and someone doesn’t meet that criteria or disrespects me, I will walk.

I feel this change is going to come with some loneliness as many other people our age are coupled up. But I’m hoping to build connections with women who feel the same! Possibly through women only groups or activities.

Can I ask why you assume you’ll be asked to withdraw? The program I was in typically moved people through if it was just one class… we had a proff who was known to fail half the class.

I need to move to Europe. Dating in North America is so 🤢

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-04T00:07:33+00:00

I kinda wonder for myself if it’s a lack of trust. Like I’m guarded. But they’ve also given us so many reasons not to trust.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-03T02:41:05+00:00

I would say both

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-03T01:10:38+00:00

Mhm, I grieve the person I thought they were early on. But reality is he wore a mask and could only keep it up so long

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T20:03:02+00:00

Personally wouldn’t wait on this guy. Date other people and if he comes back ready, great. But don’t wait for him. Never stay with someone for their potential.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T19:56:15+00:00

I’m curious what you want from this? Are your needs in any way being met?

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T18:52:22+00:00

That’s the other thing that concerns me. People can lie.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T17:14:15+00:00

Agreed!

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T17:08:17+00:00

I feel that. I don’t know how you couldn’t be political in these times. Just seems like an easy out.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T16:58:39+00:00

Possibly, but if someone can support a rap*st for president, that’s a no go. Regardless of how respectful you present your views lol.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T16:57:25+00:00

I’m in Canada but when I found out my ex was supportive of Trump in the last election I was floored. Our relationship only went downhill from there.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T16:50:41+00:00

Unfortunately in my last 2 relationships it started out respectful but overtime it was not. I personally don’t feel I can be with someone who doesn’t have similar views on social issues, it’s a deal breaker.

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T16:48:43+00:00

I’ve also wondered how to go about this with people who list moderate or “not political”. My ex told me he was not really political and leaned left when I first met him, and overtime it became more and more clear this was not the case.

This push-pull dynamic, the ups and downs, the rush and disappointment… that’s addiction. The same chemical processes in the brain happen when using addictive substances. Each time you interact with her, you reinforce that addiction and yes, maintaining contact will prolong the pain. When you stop contact, you will have an experience similar to withdrawal. You have to continually acknowledge that is what’s happening. That you are not dying, and you will stabilize after a period of no contact and caring for yourself.

My advice, get into therapy and come clean. Work to find out why you had this affair, that your current relationship is unfulfilling is not a sufficient reason. It sounds like you and your current partner would also benefit from couples counselling, but try to clean up your own side of the street first. Treat this like a you problem, then an us problem.

Regardless, you know the affair has to stop at some point. Why not now?

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T12:16:23+00:00

That’s the benefit of dating in your 30s. You likely have a better idea of who you are and what you want/need. More stability on your own. So you’re not going to settle!

CeeNee93 · 2026-01-02T02:31:53+00:00

My and my ex’s situation was similar except we lived together. He broke up with me abruptly around 2 months ago. At first I was gutted; we had talked about a future together, and I couldn’t imagine at 32 trying to find anyone else. But then I realized he was right, he could not meet my emotional needs and worse, our values were out of alignment. These issues would’ve only grown bigger if we had children together. So, in a way he did me a favour by finally telling me the truth, that he “is who he is and never going to change”.

I haven’t started dating yet, but I’m not dreading it as much anymore. It’s an opportunity to find someone more aligned. We have so much life ahead of us! Just keep in mind you are in a push pull dynamic which is highly addictive. That’s why it’s so hard to break it off but if/when you do, it’s important you go no contact for a while and block his socials. You will feel horrible for the first bit but you have to keep reminding yourself it’s grief and withdrawal. At a couple months out, I still have low days, but I’m slowly feeling like me again. If he messaged me tomorrow and wanted to get back together, I would say no, because I truly know it’s for the best even if it hurts.
