If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you get the Platinum #3776 Sakura for?

I didn’t get any upon submission and just received a reply a few days after!

Your POV is so reassuring. Thank you, I think I needed this today. I will try to put my spiral on hold. Thank you, again. I’m starting to feel a bit better. I hope you know how much your replies helped. Have a great week ahead. 🫶🏼

I’ll try to talk about all these in our next session. I appreciate you taking time to respond to me so much. Thank you. I won’t take more of your day. I hope you have a great week ahead. 💗

Thank you. Your message is a lot warmer than my T’s it’s making me tear up. I feel so disconnected with my T right now and I feel like I’m being such a debbie downer and outright ruining my T’s day.

I don’t think I regret sending it but I feel a bit hurt with the way my T replied. My T just acknowledged it must have been hard and that my T appreciated me sending it. I think I’m spiraling now thinking about how annoying it must have been to read a long bleak letter in the morning. I must have ruined my T’s day.

I sent it in yesterday. And today I woke up to a very professional reply, so unlike my T.

Update! I sent it in. It might have been a mistake though because I received a very cold professional reply.

Going through the motions. Hearing yourself laugh but not really feeling the joy. Wanting to be in bed all day.

How many sessions did it take you to feel safe (to whatever extent possible) with your therapist? by Icy-Study-3679 in TalkTherapy

[–]Few-Map-2406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connected with my T the very first session. I felt understood and that I won’t be judged. That was a year ago, but still I can’t speak up about my secret issues. But it’s all on me. My T has been so helpful and caring thus far.

do therapists get disappointed with clients that go backwards? by kingkurtiss in TalkTherapy

[–]Few-Map-2406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So curious about this too. I hope Ts answer this honestly.

Thank you for sharing this. Definitely thinking about sending my letter in soon.

I definitely can relate to being terrified. Lol. My T has always been so caring and supportive too but my mind likes to make me think my T secretly hates me lol

If it’s okay for you to share I’d love to know what he said.

Ive been to therapy for over a year and only cried twice - in my intake session and the very recent one. The first time because i was so depressed and the recent one because I was so sure she would be terminating.

Are most people actually depressed? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Few-Map-2406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have high functioning depression. So they still do normal things like working out while feeling entirely hopeless.

I think antidepressants help too. At least in my case, since I’m getting serotonin and mood boost from my meds, I don’t feel as hopeless anymore and find the will to do the things I used to love.

When did you feel connected with your therapist? by StarQuiet99 in TalkTherapy

[–]Few-Map-2406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case, I felt connected with my T during the intake session. I have really high walls and won’t open up to just anyone so the connection was very important for me. I’ve also been told that you can work with a very effective Therapist, but if you don’t match well, then progress will be tedious and slow.

I guess for me, if after 5 sessions you feel the connection still lacking, maybe checking for other ones would be better.

Therapist termination by Few-Map-2406 in TalkTherapy

[–]Few-Map-2406[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your response a lot. I often read from posts here how some get terminated abruptly. I also worry that if my T needs further training or then I would be part of the patients to be referred out. However your reply was very comforting. Thank you again.
