Day Program!!

Day Program!!

I'm attending day program at local hospital and a bit annoyed about something that happen. I have attended the art program & reach program. The first program was the art program and I didn't feel it was the program for me and decided to try something else.

The problem is that a student was sitting in both of the groups but she never introduced herself in either of the programs. I was never informed before starting the program/s that a student would be there and usually they ask if you mind and and generally have the option to refuse if you are not comfortable with someone sitting in. I think the awkwardness is because I don't really know who she is and why she is there. I just find it a bit unusual and not all comfortable with whats been happening.

I would be interested to know what other peoples thoughts are???

I am a very private person,the doctor put the mental health team onto me,several times.I am not comfortable with the case study approach ,where last time I spilled my guts to one then she said "I will go and get my supervisor",I then had to explain myself again,plus I didn't feel the "trust"was there.You shouldn't be put in the position not explaining yourself twice or anywhere where you feel uncomfortable.Can understand,you want the trust to be there and the environment to build that trust.I have found getting "help",a very humiliating experience,like it is to walk into centrelink.All I can say is if you don't feel it's right for you,find somewhere else.

That doesnt seem right not to give you a choice or atleast inform you - especially when it comes to psychology.

I would have felt very uncomfortable too!
