Reply to "Sorry"

Damn!! I has this whole thing written out to Cat and Peng now it's gone!! Come on! Ugh

Firstly let me say that I am turtle but now I have an s on the end of my name, (turtles) The reason for this is that I asked shrinklady to remove my account because I was so ashamed etc. Now that you guys have verified that things didn't go as badly as I suspected I wanted to keep my account but shrinklady was being a good forum stewardess and removed my account as I had requested. My fault entirely!

Cat, no need to apologize. I was having a moment and I regret not being more brave and flexible so no worries. Yes the stigma is bad. It is my hope that it will turn around soon. Already it has turned around in the psych field for the most part. I am sure there are still those who are not kind about it but for the most part it's getting better.

Peng (I wrote this whole thing out to you only to have it disappear.) I have had Ts tell me not to talk about my past or just change the subject. I think some Ts literally can't take it. Actually I think most Ts can't but then also they get scared that you will somehow break so they try to stop it too. It's odd to me because I feel it is their job to help us threw this stuff. I hope you are able to work through this for yourself Peng. I hope your T does help you navigate through the past and I am so sorry that you have to deal with this. No one deserves to be abused etc.

Yes so far this new T seems good. She has a reputation for being a very good therapist. I have spoken about her to others and they all get enthusiastic and say she's great. I have no idea. Last night/this morning felt like she was there for me much more than I expected her to be. It was really nice to have her there like that. I have never had a T that texts. This one does. She is my age, maybe that's why. I have seen a lot of older Ts. But this gal is my age. She is very blunt. She does not mix words. I have to get used to her style but I think that once I do it will go well. She laughs a lot and smiles a lot too so that helps. I can tell she is super effing smart. lol. She says that I am smart too. That I have a lot to offer this world. Lately I feel so worthless and she told me that I may believe that but that it is not true and that she can see that I have so much to offer and that she would hold onto it until I too could see it. You know, one of those T pep talks.....
