The meeting with the therapist


I started talking to her, telling the denied letter, and everything I have lived these last weeks, she said only "pursue", "what are you thinking about" and she wrote on paper things I guess who were interesting.
At the end, I asked "do you think my headaches will stop now, because I have sent a letter to my mother... I know my headaches come from my guilty feelings." And she answered without watching me " I don't know, it isn't too easy !".
Well I came back home, and I said to myself "this is the last time you see her" and I don't want to meet her again. She's not the right doctor, she's a Freud's disciple.

I have cried yesterday again.

If she's not helping, you should definitely find someone new. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm always wary of Freudians too!!

Fire her. She works for you. It is not a good fit. She is not empathetic, nor compassionate. Not good. Find someone who is a good fit. And I do not trust Freud the woman hater, nor anyone who admires him. Sorry, had to butt in...

I will but next week.
Yes I don't like psy who are influenced by Freud, Freud is a sad man who cared himself with bad ideas, but he has never been happy in his life, we can care people making them more guilty.

Just adding to the support for firing her -- you have to feel comfortable with someone that you will be sharing difficult things with, someone that will be an emotional guide.

And happy (belated?) birthday!

hi,i'm just a visitor here ;-) and this post caught my attention..

psychoanalysis just won't work anymore in year 2008..
i studied psychology, and i never dislike freudian's way :-)

i might not know you personally.. but based on short screening it seems that you had problem with your mother.. well my mom wanted to do abortion when she was carrying me :-) i'm still, fighting to forgive and to love her. And my relationship with her isn't good either :D we're like cat and dog :-) but i try my best to change myself.. cause i love her deep inside.

cheers from Indonesia :-D!
