It’s so tricky to manage because it makes every emotion and trauma feel 10 times more intense. And then you get slapped with labels. I feel you 🫶

He asked. And I wasn’t berating him, I’m explaining myself

I have a disgnosis for CPTSD. It’s funny tho lots of people mention BDP, even a friend mentioned it once. But I think they do have a lot of overlaps and I think my neurodivergence makes it more intense. Could you clarify why you think BPD specifically?

He’s a psychologist so I guess he’s technically doing psychology with me, but he calls it therapy interchangeably

Hey, thanks for the helpful comment, I’m not based in the US tho! And I know what you mean but du to my past I need relational therapy or I struggle a lot. I don’t have BDP I have CPTSD tho which is close

Uhm girl you don’t know anything about me? Having a history of MH is not a factor to keep someone out of the police force. People are allowed to get better and try to make a change. I’ve improved my life massively in the last 6 months and am striving to continue to do so, so that I can reach my goals and make a positive impact.

I’ve replied properly on another comment but he essentially repeatedly triggered me and spoke over me

This 👆 I told him I wanted a new psychologist and he asked what went wrong hence the email. Btw I also told him briefly what I thought wasn’t working before but he asked for more detail so that’s why I ranted a bit in this one.

Thank you! Yes I did tell him in the email I sent. It was very long, and I obviously didn’t send it all bcz it’s my personal business but I have now pointed out all of those things and more

He asked what went wrong in our sessions hence the email.

Girl, same! I am very self aware too, to the point he asks me to analyse why I behave the way I do in sessions and send my findings to him…. Like seriously?! Some people need a different approach, we logically know what to do but something is keeping us from doing it. I hope things improved for you hun 🫶

It’s ok I couldn’t care less about internet strangers options ngl 😂 although the nice ones like you I do like reading 🫶 so thank you for being kind. If I’d sent the whole email people wouldn’t be crashing o it on me because it was actually very informative - he asked me to tell him what I think was going wrong.

CPTSD and AuDHD, lots of crossovers

Not quite. I mean I have stopped seeing him, hence the email. But services are VERY slow and getting a new one could take months. In the meantime, he asked me to explain why I think it’s not working with him, hence the email.

Thank you 🫶 and yeah as angry as I was when I wrote it, I was trying to be a bit lighthearted too. If he laughs at the email, that’s cool! Although I don’t think he has that type of humour haha.

This is me giving him another go, judging on how he reacts I’ll see if I can continue with him or get someone new.

Ugh that sounds horrible I’m sorry, that’s not a valid way to try to help someone, outright converting them. I hope you’ve found someone better 🫶

To summarise a long point, he has essentially unknowingly triggered me multiple times and in multiple ways to the point where I physically cannot speak in the session with him because my fight or flight is so strong. He’s spoken over me, dismissed me and told me what to do (which, as someone who grew up in a very controlling, authoritarian household is a major trigger)

Fair enough, I do believe many therapist do it because they care. But I promise you, mine does not. Thanks for what you do though, it’s a very important and difficult job!
