[QUOTE="Star*, post: 484585, member: 4964"] Very interesting slsh..... As far as how I present myself? Guarded -all the time. I don't trust people.....I trust my dogs.... So the reaction you probably are having in the therapists office isn't an uncommon one.....I'd say all your life - due to the nature of having SO many people examine your kids, and come at you about your kids and talk to you about your kids, and tell you things about your kids.....and on and on and on about your kids? You've probably come to the conclusion that no matter WHAT you say......people are always putting YOU under a microscope, your thoughts your words your body language......how you even sit in the doctors office is on his notes...when you roll your eyes......yadda yadda yadda..... SO to me this is just a "trust" issue with this therapist.........and in my humble opinion (untrained of course) you don't trust this person yet - so you're being reserved. WHY Bother blowing the dust out of your attic when he's just going to give some poo-poo advice and not get to the core of the issues AGAIN.....ANYWAY? Just be calm, cool - collected.......allow him to see that you have it together......you're good......see???? Instead of blowing it out your blow hole, and having a fit......like you really want to - and having him write down some scribbled notes on the first few visits where in he marginally notes (Mother slightly psychotic, suggest month long hiatus for her in State Bed and Breakfast with LARGE doses of Diazapam and Morphine for sedation) - Nope - I think you're just being guarded because you don't trust this guy yet - ANd in that I'd say you have options - Either take him aside adn say "You know what? I'm tired of being Mrs. Calm, Cool and collected - so I'm lettin her rip" and at the next meeting - let her rip-------- Or ask to talk to him in private......and explain you have issues......and don't feel like opening up right now but just feel like you're going to explode.....but don't want to but want to explore that later - could you? Hope this helps ....... Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
