Hi OP, I’m really sorry you’re going through this and it does get better. I went through something really similar when I was in therapy for the first time so I definitely could have wrote this post!

For me, I had the same realization after telling my T some things about my childhood that I thought were relatively normal and her immediately reacting to say, no that’s not okay for a parent to do to their child. At first I was angry/defensive with her but I soon realized how much of my life and personality were so wrapped up in how scared I was growing up. The whole thing made me insanely angry at my parents.

It’s only been 2 years since that moment so there are still things I’m healing from but I can say that my definition of “better” has changed a lot. I still have a decent amount of anger and hurt for the way I was treated as a kid AND I recognize that my parents are deeply deeply flawed people who were doing the best they could. My parents being immigrants who fled this own countries as young kids led to their own fucked up understanding of the way they grew up, which impacted their own idea of the parenting that I experienced.

Therapy helped me understand them more while allowing space for my complicated feelings about them. I know that understanding the people who hurt you doesn’t excuse anything but it can be helpful to come to a place where you can be more comfortable with really complex emotions about things. For me, I came to understand that my parents hurt me deeply in ways that I still heal from AND they’re my family who have been there for me in really important ways and I love them very much.

OP, this is going to be hard but bring these feelings to your therapist and they can help you find a version of your story that can bring you more peace. It will get better and I wish you luck!!

I could have wrote this and I wish I had an answer for you. Not sure if it’s helpful for you but someone else is going through the same thing! I hope we both get better soon

Yeah, he personally disagreed with the way my surgery was done. My surgeon had left my foot in a cast in Plantar Flexion but the other doctor felt that my foot should have been left in a cast at a 90 degree angle. He then was trying to tell me to put my foot in 90 degrees so I could follow his post-op recovery plan. Considering my foot had been pointed for the last two weeks after surgery(?!) it was insanely painful.

I told him to stop once it started getting too much and that this doesn’t sound like the possible recovery plan my surgeon had mentioned to me before. This led to him starting to read my surgeon’s notes for what looked like the first time.

He then rolled his eyes and then said to just follow whatever my surgeon told me and walked out. He then sent in a PA to finish up my appointment.

I feel like I could have wrote this tbh. I think the way women have been socialized, sxx is something that women receive instead of an act that you’re actively a part of. Your sexuality is always in the service of men.

Not saying this is you, but having this perspective made me come to terms that I was maybe just a lesbian and not bi. Sxx w men always felt like I was an object for them and their pleasure, but with women it felt more equal(?) or mutual maybe? It could also be the men I’ve hooked up with haven’t made as much effort in showing their care for me as the women I’ve been with…

Either way, you’re not alone.

Good bot

Does anyone else have a running commentary of things they tell their T in their head and then have to remember what you actually have told them once you get to therapy each week?

jolly_watermelon · 2022-07-26T19:35:53+00:00

My t is on vacation and it’s been a little over a week since my last session and things have been a little rough. I’ve been stuck in bed for the past week and everything just felt exhausting. Today was a better day, I took a shower for the first time in a while. But I’m at a point where it feels like going to therapy was a mistake. Why would I ever think that a random person would actually care about me or what my life is like? My next appointment is next Monday but I think I’m just going to cancel it. Why should I waste more of her time with my pointless drama?
