take control! -

[duncan]

can i just say...

i am learning a lot in therapy -
one of the things is that therapists,

may think 'totally' what is good for you -
but this is their fantasy to a certain extent
they are doctors and know stuff - your
perspective - is valid - not to be messed
discounted - have the dialogue
but if they are telling you something and treat
you in a way that makes you worse
something is not kosher -

my dialogue doctor kind of whined "but i am the doctor"
yeah sweety i know that
but your ideas sometimes aren't so good -
and it costs too much - funny he has no prob spending mine!!

so i gave him a design for what would work for
me -

i am paying him $600 per week and he wants
me to spend thousands more - sorry honey
no way! and the idea don't suit me-

so i gave him my ideas and he warmed up to
them -

after some ....arbitrage (word??)

anyway - don't them say all -
after all they know stuff but not

all -

take control!!

i don't like to be influenced in a bad
way - and i like smiling
and talking to people- even though it sucks sometimes -

why would he want me to be penurious and miserable
- perhaps if we work together
the doctor and i can make this treatment
work...right??

thoughts-??

lunch time!

i am gettin cake for sure

 

[duncan]

i wasn't sure how to present these
ideas it all just kind of came
out -don't know if it
is weird or

not

i try to learn from my t

i also try to say when what he says

doesn't work or is spot on -

some things he does - make me nerved

and - enough - i say to him don't do that!!

hope this helps - that's what i was
hoping for -

it has helped a great deal, bro! sometimes we just have to go with the flow of the muse and you have accomplished much in both your posts in this thread and on your healing journey.

It's your $$$$, your time, your problem.

And my view is that a counsellor / therapist is just a guide, a facilitator, that makes it possible for us to sort our ideas out.

After all, you're the expert on you.
