Thinking of you

Re: Dark Skies
@Wanderer I am definitely a visual-spatial person. I often recall things as images which is not great with trauma 
It sounds like you appointment today was really tough buddy. It is so hard going over things again and I feel your anxiety around doing that. I hope your psychologist listens to your fears. Anxiety is natural around dealing with the tough stuff so hoping you are watching a movie this afternoon and feeling a little calmer.

Re: Dark Skies
If it doesn't feel right the go over things with the psychologist again then you have the right to not go there @Wanderer You know what you can and cannot handle and going on your reaction today it may not be such a great idea right now.
I had a harder session with my pdoc today and have been on the couch since. It is nothing I can't handle - just a little more difficult than usual. There are things that I could have done but will now leave them until the weekend.

Re: Dark Skies
Wise move @Wanderer
I had a similar experience with my previous psych. Basically told me that I had to get over anxiety or it would ruin my life. And then also didn't let me speak about my negaitvie religious experiences as a kid and how this would impact my self esteem. It was like "nope". Didn't even let me speak about it. She was religious.
Sometimes it's best to move to new psychologists when the time comes.
Today I have a low key day.
Thanks again Wanderer

Re: Dark Skies
Hi @Wanderer I think you have made a wise decision with this psych considering what you have described you feel like after sessions with them. Sometimes it isn't the right fit and recognising that and doing something about it is a good decision.
I am doing okay - been a long day today and very tired - pleased it is the weekend and I can have some rest now. I was up later last night than I usually am before a work day so that has definitely contributed to me being so tired. I got through the day though and there were lots of positives - just need some rest now.
