appointment

shannon_164

i just had an appointment with the psychologist and i feel so bad. i struggle to communicate how i feel verbally and she has been nothing but understanding and accommodating of that, i genuinely mean that. she is the first person who i feel has really understood me and wanted to help etc. today i wasn’t feeling great. mid session she said “i don’t know what im doing wrong” - i feel SO bad because she’s genuinely been amazing, she isn’t doing anything wrong and it’s me that is the problem, not her, me. i just wanted to cry at that point because i feel awful for her feeling like she’s the one in the wrong when really it is me. she said about between now and next session she’s gonna think about how she can do better n stuff - feel awful because it’s not her that is the problem, it’s me.

Hey @shannon_164

I’m sorry the appointment didn’t go very well you said you struggle to communicate so I was wondering would you be able to email the person to let her know that she ain’t doing anything wrong.

I noticed you said that she isn’t the problem and that you feel like you are which I just wanted to say that neither of you are the problem it’s the communication isssues that are which is okay because a lot of people struggle with communicating but we can find ways around that

Sending you hugs 💕

Hey @shannon_164 ❤️. You’re not the problem, and you don’t need to feel guilty. Therapy is a process, and some sessions are just tougher than others. Your psychologist clearly cares and wants to help you’re not failing, and neither is she. Please be kind to yourself.
