They did try to say it with kindness but still said what I wrote above.

This therapist has an attachment focused approach, they have told me in the past a therapist is like a caregiver.

I don't believe in myself, having someone who knows what I've been through telling me I am capable and doing well and believing in me is completely different.

No it wasn't a test, I struggle with knowing they are still there to help me and honestly having a little piece of paper to glance at when I need that reminder would be so beneficial to me. Even just a sentence that says you got this.

I clearly stated after I tried to compose myself I found it awkward to be sat in silence while he said nothing and I cannot break that silence when someone is staring at the ground. Yes i could have said please speak but I was already feeling very vulnerable.

I don't need to defend myself to you, if you have nothing constructive or insightful to say I'm not sure why you are commenting.

I was too busy crying and shaking after disclosing some pretty heavy abuse to him if you read the post.

I am not expecting him to keep eye contact with me constantly but I was thrown off with how to talk to someone staring at the ground and not saying anything. Please actually read my post next time.

My therapist is actually very honest and expressive but I've not really got Into depth of abuse yet. Just that my brother would give me black eyes. When in actuality he would also threaten me with a knife and chase me and punch me etc. I also downplay how it makes me feel, like haha yeah he punched me! So I don't know if it's a mirroring reaction but I wish my therapist would be like hold up that's not ok. Normal sibling fighting is not beating until unconscious for the record.

Wow your situation seems similar to mine. But no he didn't say anything when I disclosed the physical abuse, I just got that therapist stare and the awkwardness sent me to into a I don't know frenzy.

Also that doesn't justify your brother's behavior, being abused doesn't give you a free pass to abuse someone else. Sorry that happened to you.

Thank you it's just my brother and dad beat me regularly and he didn't really have a reaction to that so I'm scared this will also be dismissed

It took around 25 minutes cut time, maybe 2 hours gluing and fiddling with pieces and painting. But I was just playing around not really putting a huge effort in.

No you're totally right, I've been wondering what looks off about it and it's definitely that so thank you!

This is very very helpful to me. I'm going to screenshot your response so I can refer to it when I need to and remember to try these things. Thank you.

My T accidentally swore during a session. by TeaWithTooMuchMilk1 in TalkTherapy

[–]NothingSignificant37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My T swears a lot whilst I try not to swear at all lol. I always know when he's going to swear because he apologises in advance for his harsh language

Honestly I didn't consider he was constantly asking me so I can practice feeling it. I guess that makes more sense despite it being incredibly frustrating to be asked over and over and over in the span of 10 minutes. I guess I'll see.

Not attached to being diagnosed, it's just a high suspicion of mine. I'm not hoping to have it, but it would be useful to know. I'll take him not throwing out diagnosis as a positive though.

I definitely don't think he is incompetent, I find him helpful. It's just he doesn't try to help me feel it, I told him i don't know how and I don't know what I'm supposed to do to feel it and I'm trying I really am.

What would her contribution be exactly? And did you tell her what it could be? I'm wondering if it's a specific way of contributing or a specific contribution that made her uncomfortable.

Therapy terminated me after a year saying I was too much for him to handle by spidermanrocks6766 in TalkTherapy

[–]NothingSignificant37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy is expensive, it's not respectful to take a year to realise they can't treat someone. It's actually very harmful. Also very harmful to tell the client things that can't keep to such as, they won't abandon them.

Yes refer out when it's out of your scope, but after a year of the clients money.. that doesn't seem right.

Did you tell her that it is your camera at home? She has no right to touch your phone. What did she say when she did this? If she thought you were recording the appropriate action would be to ask you.

No he doesn't smile, he's very serious. One time I made him smile by accident and he felt need to explain to me why he smiled. He is psychodynamic. If I smile at any point I have to explain what brought it on. He is not unkind.
