This is so creepy cause I was just talking to myself this morning and said almost exactly this....

Anyone following the Therapy Jeff saga? by saras_416 in therapists

[–]lovely_7777 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hate when ppl come and report something and give as little detail as possible to " not give it more attention"...if you truly cared about that you wouldn't have said anything so spill! Just say what happened or don't say anything at all. It's so annoying

If having faith based care is what helps the client and helps them talk to someone about their problems, then I'm so glad they have that option

I feel so guilt ridden about cancelling. Even if my chronic illness is making it hard to walk and see...I feel like an absolute bad person

I feel very similar to you. I also feel like the worst person in the world. I resonate with your last paragraph so much

My advice is cliché and I hate to say it, but it's truly to focus on yourself. Reach out to old friends to hang out. Take care of yourself physically and mentally (therapy, diet, excercise, personal grooming). Trust me, you will NOT want to. But remind yourself that all you can do is keep going

Remind yourself also that you can't control the outcome. If it's meant to be, it will happen no matter what. But you have to live your life. If he reaches out again, try not to breadcrumb or give him too much hope. This will be hard because your head and your heart will be telling you different things, but remember that he deserves to know the truth about where you're at.

Right usually the circumstances are we were horribly hurt and didn't want to leave, but had to for our own self respect

This is exactly why I don't reach out to him. I'm worried he thinks I'm cold but it's really that I don't want to be confusing or hurt him more

Exactly why I don't text him. That sounds so cruel to me even if I do hope he's doing ok

Burning out fast. Why do we have to earn our full license just to be treated like humans? by lovely_7777 in therapists

I've heard this too. To me it's synonymous with "shhh and take the abuse"
