This is off the topic but I didnt want to start another thread. I just recently read a post where someone was blasting the whole psychology section. I personally feel to blame for a lot of it because I have been posting a lot on different things, about transference feelings for my therapist, about finding out where my therapist lives, about knowing what is too much to say to a therapist, about not telling the whole truth to my therapist...a lot of people know that my therapist calls me his patient and not his client. which personally I like better than client. My psychologist does have a PH.D which does make him a DR. Just not a medical doctor, so if he wants to consider his clients..patients than so be it. I have gotten my feelings hurt beause I was coming here for support...and ultimately I have gotten it >.I just feel threatened by what was said. Something that was said was that therapy should be that you go in ..have therapy, shake hands, and then leave and "move on". That is easier said than done, and I am one that struggles with that daily. I feel that therapy is different for every single person and there is NO ONE WAY TO DO THERAPY. You can't do therapy wrong, and even though I am having trouble, I still believe that I am OK..and that my therapist is ok with me.
I do not appreciate people that get on psychobabble and accuse others of speaking wrongly. I am a very fragile, mentally ill person that is looking for acceptance and support and most of the time I do get it..actually almost all of the time. I have only had one other attack on me on psychobabble and that was like 4 years ago.
I cannot handle it and this is going to take me some time to get over it.I hope that no one else is feeling attacked.
I am going to take a few days and let my issues rest. (I only use psychobabble when I am at my wits end. WHen I am doing poorly, I come on this site to get help and advice..and it just so happens that I am not well and I do need support.
But after what I read from a recent post, I am too scared to post anything.I do however appreciate everyone that has replied to my posts...No one that has replied to my posts has hurt me, it was just one that I happened to read. Luckily that person has been asked to stay off line for a few weeks.
Take care and I hope to be posting again soon.
Amanda
