Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
Thanks @Shaz51
Im struggling to be grounded today but having this brain fog surrounding my options is making it a lot worse so im wondering if even being able to come up with an option or working out th beat course of action for even one or 2 things might help. I tried it on my own and it just made me distressed because i couldnt and still cant think...
Problem is i dont even know where to start......

ok @outlander one at a time as @Shaz51 said ![]()
What are your concerns around your psychologist - just list as they come to mind - don't think too much - just like with the Zoe Method

She always talks about other clients despite ive asked her not to.
She compares me to my mother who went there a few yrs ago
She is judging and already has her opinions on my situation despite it changed since a ur ago
She doesnt think im doing enough and already explained that context but she doesnt help me figure out how to help myself
I feel like i cant open up to her and i always feel tense in there

Gotcha @outlander
The relationship between a client and a psychologist should be non-judgemental, feel safe and allow you to open up - when and if you feel you can for yourself not the psychologist. They should be directing you but not pushing you further than you are ready to go. The key to any good psychologist/client relationship is trust - if you do not have trust then you cannot possibly open up. By a psychologist talking about other clients they are infact breaking those other clients trust - and that certainly does not allow you to be in a position where you csn feel thst waht you say is kept in confidence and as such the psychologist is not providing a safe environment for you.
You are the only one that can decide for yourself if this 'relationship' is working for you - but I would suggest that if you do not feel comfortable and do not trust the person who is suppose to be providing these things in a safe environment then you will not receive the best possible 'therapy' to be able to move forward.
