I know this post is going to be 'moderated', but I really don't care.

@Former-Member- thank you for sharing that with us. It does sound clear, there are a lot of questions in there and things to work on from a atheraputic approach. Such an apporach takes time, who knows how much that will be. It's a case of continue to work on yourself and engage in therapy with a trusted therapist and addressing these bumps in the roads together as they come up.

I really do hear your desire to want to tick all these things off, maybe you could try and work on a timeline for example one question at a time. I think the underlined sentences are very insightful and meaningful for you. I wonder if thats something you could share with him as feeback. I expect a clear and direct answer back. And I'm not getting it. And what he has done is set me up to feel horribly about myself by not telling me and only giving me half answers.

I hear how by you not knowing is making you think and feel. It sounds like an unsettling space to be in. I want to reasure you that it wouldn't be your therapists goal or aim by not tellling you. I hope he can share the information with you next session and explain his reasoning to help you gain trust in the theraputic relationship again. It is a relationship and relationships can be tricky to navigate, especially with intense feelings and thoughts in the mix. I'm sending you encouragment to go back 🙂

Try and be kind to yourslef and offer yourslef what you can today to try and help soothe yourself. Kindness and self compassion is much more powerful and self enlightening.

Thinking of you 🙂

I have picked up this statement from @Faith-and-Hope -- @Former-Member d) he doesn’t know how to answer you and expects to work it out with you as you go along in sessions, I think he wants you to work with him and find out which way you want to go my friend

One of My husband`s MI team told him " we can`t help you if you don`t help yourself "

@Former-Member I think your anger is perfectly well justified. I find it bewildering that any health professional could be treating someone for a year without telling them what illness they are treating them for. Can you imagine that happening in any area of health other than mental health? It super highlights to me how even though they try to say mental illness is just like any other illness, it simply isn't. I mean seriously, can you imagine seeing a cardiologist or an oncologist regularly for a year without being told what condition you were being treated for? I hear and feel your anger.

Whatever this person says to you, try to remember that he is one person with one opinion. My psychologist of 16 years told me that I could only ever be contained and managed. TTT sees me differently. It's so so SO hard starting over with someone new, but finding the right person makes it so so SO worth it.

I hear you @Former-Member. You are important 🙂

I hope having heard back for your therapist helps settle things a little for you. To me it highlights his care for you too, I'm not sure if that's true for you.

Take care 🙂

I'm really glad he replied to you @Former-Member. I can imagine how super far away Tuesday seems right now. We all seem to spend an awful lot of time practicing our waiting skills here in Forum Land don't we!

I don't really understand the mostly-silent types of therapy. I know that definitely wouldn't be a good fit for me.

I super hope you get some answers to your questions on Tuesday, 5-HT.
