"there was worry,worry, worry, that I could not help you. I am very unwell currently and that is
not to gain your sympathy but it is a reflection of the difficulty I had with the decision to stop working with you".My T sent me an email. I thought she had been trying to get out of having to work with me for a while now and becuase of my issues I assumed the worst - that I really am unacceptable and abhorrant to others. I feel really bad now. I didn't realise that she was getting burnt out becasue she didn't know how much she really was helping me.
I never learned how to show love and kindness to myself and I realise now that I never learned how to show love and kindness to others either. I need to learn how to take better care of my therapists because, in hindsight I have burned out most of the clinicians who have worked with me. I always remember 2 for the fact that things didn't end badly, and we managed to keep up a good working relationship. But in hindsight what both those situations had in common is that they were time limited from the start and they moved on before they got worn out with me.
I need to learn how to treat my t's better. Any ideas?
