really? shes coaches you? i personally would be too scared that that is far to close to home for complete objectiveness. but as i said, i bet she is wonderful and that is in no way disrespectful. its actually admirable =] but for you, talk to a stranger?! may annoy you, you may feel they don’t know enough about you, but you may need to be pushed lightly, she maybe can’t do that because she’s too great?!?! as i said before im just educationally guessing, but its still a guess, sorry =/
Yea, I know what you are talking about. Transference. Yes, I believe that is where we are in our therapeutic relationship. However, she might be suffering from some of that herself because she coaches my hockey team.
oh so you got into the ‘friend’ zone?
your councellor is probably an awesome person, with a huge heart, but you are not supposed to enter into friendship, it should always be, client/professional relationship. respect to my therapist, once said, “i am not your friend, you will never want to see me again after this”.
nice guy actually, and very very correct, i really didn’t. still i admire that statement and have respect for being like that. we all have lives to live later, without emotional baggage that is easy to collect doing such things.
I can read it in my shoutbox but not rely to it unless I am in yours.
I dunno. I personally think my counselor got upset because she cares about me. At least that is what I would like to think. I have been seeing her for 3 years so she kind of has a sense of who I am beyond the diagnoses.
but can you read and reply to this only on my shout box? i think it would work like that. lol sorry for being a noob ;)
it sounds like you need another new councellor, a fresh opinion isn’t a bad thing, they may agree, in which case you can guess its yourself causing the difference of opinion, or if it is actually a professional differnece of opinion you have another way to look at it, a fresh outlook, either way its not actually a bad thing.
Exactly! For example; when I was diagnosed and medicated for the ADD I told my counselor and her reaction although quite amusing at the time was very defensive. In fact she said something along the lines of that she thought he just liked diagnosing peoplewith that and when I told her I was being edicated she said “you’re kidding right” I said no. At which point she lost it.
so i write in yours right? sorry newbie lol
yeah i hate that, i hate having to tell professional people things from other professional people, because they all get defensive straight away like its personal to them.
But I also have my mom hitting me up for meds as if I am the corner drugstore which makes me want to just dump all my meds down the toilet and say forget it.
I think I am irritated by a number of things. But mostly the fact that I am seeing four different doctors and none of them communicate with eachother so when something like the ADD med is making me suicidal I have to be the one who keeps eeryone in the loop.
