Hey @ellie2000
It sounds like you've dealt with a lot of traumatic experiences, that have maybe not been resolved for you, and I just want you to know that you're doing incredibly well reaching out to us and to therapists and mental health services to get the support you deserve to help you manage these difficult and distressing feelings. How have you been feeling lately?

Couldn't agree more with Brookee's points You deserve to be able to cope with the things that have happened to you and the emotions that you feel in response to it all. I suppose for some people therapy is something they do for one block of time and never revisit, but for a lot of people it's an ongoing process in the same way that we regularly see a dentist for a checkup, so whilst you mightn't see a therapist as regularly anymore (e.g., once a week) it might be that checking in with yourself is something that brings peace of mind

I know you also mentioned a narcissistic therapist, is this a specific therapist?

ellie2000

tht therapist was a training one, with no supervision. the first 1. i was told i was goin to do drama, but it turned abit wierd. she was told to stop, but she didnt
i've been abit oo-er about having nothing in place

Ah like a therapist who was only in the beginning of their training? I know sometimes that will mean that their ability to support you can be limited because they don't have as much knowledge or experience. But regardless of experience, narcassism should really never be a part of it, especially because therapy is meant to be a place for your feelings about your life, not theirs. It doesn't sound nice that she didn't stop when told to, you certainly don't deserve to be put through that, Ellie. Has she left you alone now?

I hear what you mean being left in a void not knowing whether you're going to gain support must be really horrid for you. It sounds like you are looking to get some extra help, and I think that is beyond amazing Would you like any help from us with this? xxx
