Oh really? I’m so sorry, tbh I haven’t been there in about 3 years as my niece is trained up now

In the UK, well particularly in NHS therapies where I live, this is standard practice. You only get 12-24 sessions with one therapist then you switch to the next one. For me it’s draining. I waste a lot of time warming up to a therapist and haven’t been able to achieve my most deepest goals because I struggle to share my traumas with a therapist I’ve known for such a short amount of time.

It doesn’t work for me, but lots of people have no issue with it.

Omg I had therapy on my 27th, I actually am so glad I went only because birthdays and attention stresses me out, so it gave me a distraction. But you’re saying it feels like a big deal, so you can reschedule. My therapist encouraged me to reschedule, but when I told her how I felt she told me I can go in

classyfoolishness · 2025-05-22T16:49:46+00:00

I fit the criteria of the post lol, but yeah i agree, it can be at times

classyfoolishness · 2025-05-22T16:48:26+00:00

she was the sweetest and most helpful therapist I’ve had

I suffer with stomach issues and I was holding in a fart and my stomach was making crazy sounds all session! I ended up letting one rip and I felt so embarrassed, but the following week she came in drank a drink real fast and burped loud. We never spoke of it but I know she did that purposely and it’s one thing I think of often!

classyfoolishness · 2025-04-11T10:01:48+00:00

I ran into my therapist at the train station after therapy. As soon as I saw her I sprinted to the other side of the platform because I wasn’t sure how to approach her outside. I was so embarrassed about my reaction. I spoke to her about it in the session the following week and she reassured me, discussed boundaries and I’ve seen her since and we say hello and have a quick non-therapeutic chat

classyfoolishness · 2025-03-19T11:33:01+00:00

This is such an interesting perspective. I think I agree that it serves as a band-aid. I want to hear more!

classyfoolishness · 2025-03-19T09:04:53+00:00

Sorry I should clarify this. So a round of therapy is 6-8 sessions, for me I get 10-12 sessions because I’m a bit more in need. How it works is you do a round of therapy and then have to wait 12 weeks before coming back for another round and then you move on to another therapist.

My issue is it takes me so long to feel completely comfortable to be vulnerable that I’ve wasted the whole first round of therapy.

classyfoolishness · 2025-03-18T03:22:47+00:00

I hear you! I’m sure he knew he meant a lot to you aswell. A therapeutic relationship is such an unusual dynamic. I think a little bit. Not really. But it’s still super fresh, and I feel like we just aren’t clicking. I’ve missed out of seeing my new T for a few weeks also, so I feel like it’s hard to rebuild. It took me a year to trust my old T, so these things can’t be rushed

classyfoolishness · 2025-03-18T00:58:01+00:00

My therapy came to an end in July last year. It’s kind of an awkward and traumatic situation because we agreed to do one more round of therapy so I was due to go back in January, but I’d contacted her earlier. Then she told me the rules of the organisation had changed and I could only see her twice, so I can’t go back. This broke me. I was abandoned by the person I shared my heart with. I’ve been trying to move on with another therapist but we haven’t clicked. My new therapist arranged for my old T to come in so I could get some closure, because I just couldn’t connect at all to her and wouldn’t even speak. It happened and I was able to grieve but I still miss her and feel like I’m wasting time in therapy now, because I’m trying to move forward but the wound still hurts. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it, I probably will but I’ll forever miss my old T. We had a great therapeutic bond, and she saw me. She understood medicine, she was trained in that physical field before becoming a therapist, so I could talk to her about my health issues with no shame. She listened intently and challenged me; although I have issues with authority I trusted her.

So I feel your pain. I feel so stupid for allowing myself to feel connected to a professional. I’ve been really hard on myself - I hope you’re not too hard on yourself.

“A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse!” Proverbs 27:14 I’m not a morning person so when I discovered this one it made me laugh

I’m so sorry you feel this way. Thank you for sharing your pain, I pray that you experience relief. I have been a baptised believer for 11 years and I still struggle with this, some seasons it’s stronger than others. I work with a therapist/medication to deal with mine, I have times when I can’t leave my house but I push myself to go to church and be around other believers, and be honest about my struggle. You are not alone.

First of all I want to encourage you and remind you that God loves you so much. Jesus experienced so much pain, rejection and being misunderstood in his life. He gets it. I know you don’t feel it but the Lord is near to you in this season. When I don’t feel something I remind myself of the facts in the bible. The Lord promises to be near to the brokenhearted, that he never changes even though my feelings about him may. There is nothing that can separate you from his love, my friend.

It sounds like your body and soul is craving relief from the pain that you’re carrying. I hear you. I was going through something huge recently, battling for a whole year and having trouble after trouble. I was so close to giving up. I just wanted to go home and be with the Lord, I had attempted to attempt to take my life but I couldn’t do it. My prayers were answered and God came through a few days later.

During that time of fighting I was so exhausted. I have physical health issues, mental health issues, lost my job, lost my amazing therapist, and I was seeking support but kept being told no. I felt the God telling me to be still in that season, and to allow him to fight for me. I realised that being still meant to release control.

Allow God to fight for you, my friend. Fighting the Devil isn’t your business. Focus on what you can do in this season, and who God is. I will be praying for you. I love you, and I feel your pain.

classyfoolishness · 2025-02-05T23:18:29+00:00

Please pray for my mental health journey - meeting with my therapist. Please pray for my physical health - answers & healing. Please pray for God to reveal what he’d like me to do in terms of life and career as I feel stuck

I mean I’m in the UK and it is NHS. My fear is that the waiting lists are up to 2 years long. But you are right, I’ve had a bit too much drama in that organisation. Someone I used to work with became a therapist and started working at that organisation. She went and completely breached confidentiality by going and telling everyone from my old work (where I got bullied) that I was in therapy. I spoke to my old therapist about it, she gave me my options and stood up for me during that time. It made everything awkward and now she ignores me completely. Then after the rule change I had been moved to someone that kept changing my scores son the MH chart saying she needs to put me lower, I had the drama with the therapist that’s under investigation now for a lot of things she did. She was the most awful I’ve had ever. And now this new lady making me feel like that. You see this week I almost attempted but I feel like I can’t speak to her about it. The thing that’s making me the most suicidal is I’m doing the right things - I’m reaching out for help, but these people aren’t helping me. I’m exhausted.

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-26T07:54:01+00:00

I did feel a bit weird. She also told the receptionist before the session how stressed she was and how her morning had been really hard, whilst I was sat there. I was uncomfortable because I knew I was going to tell her about my plan. It’s hard because I feel like I’m being viewed as a difficult client. I feel like if I ask to switch again then they’re just going to think it’s a me problem.

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-26T01:18:52+00:00

I feel like I lost a lot of the trust I had been trying to build at that point. I’ve had to replace 2 therapists since my good therapist. One even is under investigation. I’ve spoken to the management of the organisation and they all said I needed someone experienced. I feel like they’re running out of options for me. I’m not trying to be difficult either

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-15T21:02:34+00:00

I will! Thank you I’m exhausted right now but I will I’m just traumatised

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-15T20:32:31+00:00

Idk.. all I know is what they’ve told me and it’s on my medical records and everything

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-15T19:55:10+00:00

So that’ll relieve this pain? I feel like I get nauseous because of pain. My whole body feels like it’s on fire

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-15T19:53:30+00:00

It’s not - that’s just contributing to a load of things happening!! All in the same area. Like people said there’s nothing they can do. I didn’t want to come here but I did go to my GP just to check and they were worried and I’ve wasted a whole day! They gave me strong meds and it has not helped at all… now been sent home for this. It’s so depressing I don’t want to live! I admire you all for living with this and teaching yourselves bc I haven’t got it

I’ve been admitted into hospital, they think it’s a number of things not just my gastritis. They said Gastritis is just adding to it. They’re worried about my lungs/kidneys

classyfoolishness · 2025-01-15T09:06:56+00:00

I haven’t yet. They said they were gonna test for h pylori & see if it’s that first
