And so happy to find you guys here. And the above post (f you were referring to mine) was for either or both of you.
I wish meds worked for me. I've been trying over 10 years now. Surely they will come up with something soon....
Meanwhile, I'm not so sure about this therapy. It was the kind of confrontive in your face thing today--where he played back my patterns with dramatic intensity as if that would do anything but shame me. Then he said my issues with men would lead me to distrust him--leaving me severely psychobabbled.
I'm not sure that kind of thing is good for me--right now I'm trying to get over my ex rejecting me for those parts I reject in myself. I am not a denier; my therapist doesn't have to worry about that. I don't need to dwell even more dramatically on my failings.
If leaving me in tears was the goal, he succeeded. He even seemed to be backpedaling for the rest of the session as if he were unsure of how he'd dealt with me--but maybe that's just my imagination. I'll go back next week with renewed wits (!) and try to tell him, maybe give it another chance.
Anyway, it really was nice to come home and find you guys here. I hope you're back and posting soon.
What shall we order?
