Going back to see my therapist?!
Question: Going back to see my therapist!?
It's been a rough semester!. I'm a sophomore in college now, and it's just been really stressful!. I went to the counselor here at school to try and talk about how bad I've been feeling, but that experience has been horrible!. The lady turns everything into a cliche, asking me these stupid shrink-like questions (dont know what else to call them, haha), and then she's rescheduled me twice because of some project she had (both of those times where she told me (nicely) that i had to leave ended in my going back to my room in tears)!.!.anyway, I'm thinking about calling my therapist back home (who i've come to have a good relationship with, i've been seeing him off and on for 2 years now) and arranging to see him over Christmas!.!.but the thing is, I'm kinda nervous about doing it!.!.what if this just means I'm not getting better!? that a part of me is always going to be this way!? what will he think!?!? it's been 5 months since I've last seen him, and it just seems so random, you know!? going back to see him always increases my anxiety, i dont know why!. but is this a good idea!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
there's never any reason to not see a therapist!. if you think you need to, do it!. why are you worried about what he thinks!? that's what he's there for, to help you get through the rough times!. and he won't think it's odd it's been five months since you last saw him, you've been away at school!. as for the school therapist, well, she's just unprofessional and wrapped up in her own things!. in a way, she may act like that because she is a school therapist, she sees alot of students that all probably are worried about similar things and has just stuck you in that category!. i would suggest seeing her again and explaining that you see a therapist at home, maybe that will change her perception about you!. if she still acts that way, you may want to ask to speak to her supervisor!. she is there to help you, not belittle you!. good luck :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, please don't be nervous!. It doesn't mean you're not getting better!. It means you are still in the healing process and need more time!. I'm sure your therapist will be a bit sad to see you back, but happy that you came!. It's his/her job to be nonjudgemental!. You don't always have to be this way!. You just need more time to work things out!. Don't be nervous!. I'm sure your therapist will be happy that you came to see him!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Worry not, sometimes you just need a little reminder from someone you trust who can be unbiased!. Go ahead and call your regular therapist for a session!. I've been going to the same therapist for the past seven years on and off for my own issues and she's supported me through some life-threatening situations!. I don't think of calling her and asking for some chat time to be a slide backwards; I consider it just a follow up to get my head on straight!. Write down what you need support with and go with the mind set of figuring out some solutions and you will be likely to get some peace of mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
