Let’s call you brain fuzz and you will be my brain fuzz.
Evening ladies and gentlemen.......
i have a question hope i can get some insight. Like I already know what has to happen but yeah. Ok so hears the low down. ...
So on the 21st of this month...
I kinda had a bad day. Don’t get me wrong it probably wasn’t that bad. But when I needed it it was not there. I guess I should probably start at the start. I had an appointment with my psychologist ( Mrs *) as I call her. But today it was like she just couldn’t or wouldn’t shut up. Ok maybe that is mean but I pay money to see her and for her to help me with my mental health issues. Not to sit and listen about her up coming holidays and her weekend this was the first time she has ever done that and I get it some days we are just off our game. ... Like I been having these thoughts disturbing thought well I think they are.. Now I’m kinda angry sad worried can I just say all of the above.. and I have been self harming again like Grrrrrrr I was doing really well…….
I guess you want to know these thoughts……..I’m sorry but i dont think this is the right place to get in to those details.
so any way like i have been looking for other services to help me but i dont know if i should go back to Mrs *

Hi @Eagle, I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience with 'Mrs' during this session 😞 I've had similar situations with a doctor before, and it's unpleasant to feel a person who should be helping you is more engrossed in their own life. I think it's incredibly forgiving and good of you to consider her perspective, in that she may have just been excited, and agree with @scared01 in that it might be worth giving her another chance to make up for her mistake. Have you ever felt this way after a session before?
And how have you been feeling recently? We're always here to talk with and listen 🙂
@scared01.. I decided to see a new psychologist. I told her that i was just shopping for a new one LOL.. she was really good didn’t really push anything like making any appointment in the future.. i admit that starting again was hard but worth it.. i left feeling really good about everything... not sure if i will make another appointment or stay with my old one yet..
hope you find one that suits you soon
Hey @Eagle, definitely understand how frustrating it must be to have your practitioner speak about themselves instead of holding the space for you. As you mentioned everyone does have off days, it's good your weighing up both sides.
Before we go on, around the self-harm, do you need medical attention for this?
And do you plan on hurting yourself or anyone else?
Here to listen 
@Bree-ROI’m ok in that way it’s been one day......
i just don’t know if I’m overthinking and over reacting to it all like should I look for a different person. I really don’t want to start again like we all know how hard it is opening up.
hey there @Eagle, Bree is unwell for the night so I'm just checking in. Glad to hear you are safe tonight
Definately rings true that too trust people and opening up takes a lot of energy to do with one person...
How are you going with this?
It sounds like a frustrating situation, have you spoken to your psychologist at all since this happened? I find when trying to make a tough decision like this, a pros and cons list is great in helping me weigh out whether or not a decision, such as changing psychs, is worth it. Does your psych usually talk a lot like the way she was before?
I hope you're having a good weekend 🙂
@scared01...
ok then i will try that usually she like how your going and so on. But like i said before maybe she was just a tad excited about the holiday
@Eagle it sucks that she seemed more interested in her holiday than your own needs... rule 101 of psychology is that while it's fine to disclose things to clients, it needs to be for their benefit and not your own.
I like @scared01's suggestion of making it clear that you're struggling when you first walk in next session. If she's not able to keep the session on track then it might be time to look into someone else. What do you think?
