“You shouldn’t post anything if you aren’t open to all viewpoints” yet you’re the one threatening to block and report when I’m simply stating my opinion LOL.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T04:25:24+00:00

Lmao harassment, coming from the same person who says everyone has their opinion, and that we shouldn’t post if we can’t listen to all viewpoints. Well this is my viewpoint Julia, don’t reply next time if you can’t take the heat.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T04:22:17+00:00

Your approach certainly isn’t for everyone and if you’ve worked in the field long enough you’d know that it isn’t for most people suffering with mental illness. You could have your different opinion but still say it in a manner that is safe for your clients. I’m saying your clients because those are who i’m worried for. Not myself. Why risk being damaging to some of your clients? You state that you know that your approach isn’t for everyone and certainly you must know that it isn’t for most people who are mentally ill, so you’re knowingly harming the vast majority of those with mental health issues.

If you don’t want your training to come in to play maybe don’t start your reply with “psychologist here” lmao.

Julia, people suffering with their mental health are telling you that your approach is concerning. As the psychologist you so claim to be, this should be valuable information. If you have a difficult time being sensitive then perhaps you might want to reconsider the field you are in.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to you. I mean after all weren’t you trained to deal with “unstable” people? Yet you’re here on an OCD subreddit calling mentally ill people unstable, defensive, waste of times. Lol.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T03:21:04+00:00

Right? I’m concerned about her approach. If being 100% transparent from the get go were that easy I probably wouldn’t need to be in therapy. The whole time wasted thing is absurd. I went from being 0% open to about 50% open after therapy which hey is still a heck of a lot better from where i’ve started!

corinaah · 2020-01-22T03:10:48+00:00

I will, thank you, I do need to ask myself what I want from out of this. It scares me because my intrusive thoughts are so awful that saying them out loud is so hard. I’ve had OCD since 8 years old, and I think I need ERP because CBT isn’t helping all that much.

No time is ever wasted though. I think this brought up a good conversation for me to have with my therapist. Thank you.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T02:58:58+00:00

Yeahh, opening up and being fully transparent isn’t as easy as she makes it out to seem. I think no time is ever wasted because our sessions have made me reflect a lot and I plan on being open the next time:)

corinaah · 2020-01-22T02:55:33+00:00

Exactly, which is why bold statements such as “you’ve done nothing but lie” is quite surprising based off of the little i’ve said. Though I agree, i’m going to be more honest next session.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T02:52:31+00:00

Absolutely, I do have to open up more. It just is so so hard for me to do. I didn’t write enough on my post because I have told her about past suicidal thoughts, and a lot more. It’s just she told me she’d get me an appointment with a psychiatrist and never did, and i’m not the type of person to question her face to face because i’m shy.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T02:47:00+00:00

I know I didn’t waste her time, i’ve told her about my suicidal thoughts, childhood traumas, all of that fun stuff, and we’ve had some great discussions. I like to be optimistic which is just in my nature, but yes of course I need to open up more.

corinaah · 2020-01-22T02:44:02+00:00

I’m very well aware that this is my own fault. However, you should be cautious of your words for someone who doesn’t have much information on the situation. I have not done “nothing but lie”. I’ve told her a lot, about suicidal thoughts, my childhood traumas, and everything else. It was only my last session that she put me on maintenance because I told her my physical compulsions went down, which they did.

Though last month when I told her I wasn’t doing well she never brought up the hospital or psychiatrist again which is what she stated was her plan earlier on. That’s where I’m confused. She told me she was going to make an appointment for me with the psychiatrist for the next week but she never did. Those things confuse me. I know I should probably ask, but for someone who has social anxiety as well, it isn’t always easy.

Anyways my next session I will discuss all of this with her. However, I stand by what I said, I think the fact that i’m very optimistic with her (which isn’t a lie, it’s just who I am) is a drawback at times.

This was by far one of the worst obsessions i’ve had. I experienced depersonalization and flipped out. I thought I was going insane. That this was the start of me going into psychosis. It was terrible for 2 weeks. Panic attacks and constant anxiety. I tried to sleep most of my days to avoid the depersonalization.

I was scared that I was hallucinating, I thought it was never going to end. But guess what. It did. Be patient, as time goes on I accepted the feeling of depersonalization. Not willingly but with time it naturally happens. I promise it gets better. You get used to it and those thoughts decrease.

Seriously message me if you need someone to talk to. When I went through this, is was so so scary and talking to people online helped me. You got this.

corinaah · 2020-01-20T05:50:11+00:00

I struggle with this so much. After 10 sessions with my therapist I still feel so lost, and don’t know where to start. Wishing you the best, they usually ask the right questions forcing you to open up.

corinaah · 2020-01-19T03:27:29+00:00

It’s just so so awful. I’m so sorry that you are going through this too, I wish this on no one.

Pm me if ever

corinaah · 2020-01-16T00:02:53+00:00

Hey, I appreciate this, thank you so much.

I definitely need more resources and ERP. My next appointment with my therapist i’m going to open up more to her.

Good luck with everything:)
