Is therapy supposed to be like this

Post Reply New Topic

The first time I went to see a psychiatrist I was able to mutter to him that I probably would not be able to speak a lot or know what I should talk about, and that he would need to make an effort to pry it out of me. Which he sort of did, sometimes. But I am not the person who'd bother to go to a session and then sit there and get nothing out of it.
So knowing that I wouldn't be able to talk, I would prepare myself before hand. I would find an occasional moment in my daily life to sit and write things down on paper. I would just write down problems I had and experiences that gave me difficulties and give him this point form list, and he'd read it and we'd sometimes discuss it etc...And that's what I continued to do.

And was it worth it in the end?, did you find therapy actualy made a differance to whatever you needed therapy for?l

Yes, it was worth it in the end, for the reasons I needed to go for in the first place. I needed an objective opinion on AS, just someone get some feedback from because I didn't have people to talk to that either gave a damn, or could understand to any degree what it is like. I also ended up taking medication which really made big improvements for me.

Now I really feel the need to go back to therapy again, but this time to speak with someone who is able to give me more practical or behavioural advice that I can apply to my daily life.

LOL

I don't know what to say. I had a therapist who spoke English and he was just as useless. His specialty was people who had PTSD and a drug problem. It was far beyond his grasp to talk to someone who had no drug problem. He couldn't inderstand.

When I told him a man was pursuing me relentlessly and not taking no for an answer and this was making me panickedand very scared, he said that maybe I need to keep saying no. Um, yeah, I must be the problem.

When I told him that I wanted to find out if I have AS, he didn't seem to know what I was talking about.

That's the moron my health insurance sent me to.

Therapy sucks.

I think you should just talk to the fridge. It's cheaper, and sometimes it hums as if it's interested.
