#sessions with my psychologist

[darcyolsson]

in general the irony of studying psychology and needing a psychologist at the same time is not lost on me but today my student organisation announced they're doing a field trip to......... my psychologist's office. think i'm going to sit this one out lads 😭

#i'm not a clinical psychologist and have never seen the dsm outside my own therapy sessions. but still. it's very funny to me #personal

Happy Anniversary of the day I asked (begged) for the day off to my principal so I could stay at home and read AWTWB in the moment it was released. Rats and roses to you all!! 🐀 🌹

#i told him I had an appointment with my psychologist #Baz and Simon kissing in the dark alley holding rats did as much as a therapy session #simon snow #snowbaz #baz pitch #I AM SO BUSY RIGHT NOW BESTIES

#god trying to get an adhd assessment is nightmarish #why does it cost $600+ for a single session like EXPLAIN??? #and it's so hard to find a psychologist who is taking new patients like please i just want to not be held hostage by my brain #one told me i would have to go to australia to get an assessment i just ghtiuhgituhgiutrh #I WILL get a stupid diagnosis i swear to fucking god #i've given up trying to go through the GP because the doctors here simply do not give a shit #them: its anxiety #me: but i dont feel anxious #them: mmm no sweaty it's anxiety :)))) #;; ooc. #;; tbd.

anon opinion: you're an individual that's almost debilitatingly creative, that manages to persist under high amounts of stress, so that the creativity comes out like a pressure washer almost. but in a good way! a very good way, and the stuff that you think up and your interpretation of other media and things is always well thought out. I first followed you during The Town of Nowhere (your No is my canon No) and though I may not always personally identify with your interpretation of other media, it never comes off as absurd or pure self-indulgent wish fulfillment.

I hope you keep doing your thing! And stay safe and sane in dealing with your work and your.... patients? clients? if that's still part of what you're doing.

kicking my feet and twirling my hair reading this

#the only thing wrong here is that anything i create rlly IS self indulgente #and yeah! im still interning as a psychologist! #my sessions start this week #it kinda sounds fucked up #but i need some stress in my life #cause im a naturally stressed person #and if i dont have anything to stress over i will make up shit to be stressed #when theres something to be stressed about i at least have something to direct the stress to #the creativity pressure washer rlly is a good analogy #never rlly related when people say they don't know what to draw #like i never know how to pick what to draw #fucking idea build up is insane inside here (here= my head)

#📚 #thinking about him inviting me to a therapy session to talk about my paraphilias again. completely unprompted. and he asks me to show him- #-how i cope n im forced to show him my tumblr. he sees all the posts about him surrounded by posts about being raped... #GET OUT OF MY HEEAAADDDDDD #YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE YOURE THE SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST AAAGGGHHHHHHHHH

[passingthetime]

I'll never forget the time I sent someone my depression playlist and he said "Love the playlist but that sounds like anger rather than depression to me tbh"

#my psychologist after multiple sessions of accepting i have depression asked me to describe it one time #and then went 'you sure you're depressed? you just sound really really angry to me ' #idk my own emotions anymore #rambling

My new psychologist is going to screen me for adhd because I present with a lot of symptoms of adhd. I nearly cried when she told me that this could be the root cause of why I have been physically and emotionally exhausted for a decade. Fingers crossed that I can actually find some answers!

#my old psychologist told me I couldn’t have adhd when I brought it up #because I’m not hyperactive in the physical sense #but he also believed that vaccines are linked to autism and china caused Covid on purpose #so… #I stopped seeing him because he retired but literally the week before our last session I was thinking I needed a new psychologist #he wasn’t able to help me anymore #and that’s okay #it’s okay to let go of things that are no longer meeting your needs #that includes people and objects and ideas

[strhwaberries]

turns out he just wanted to talk to me and give me some advice so it wasn’t that bad, and i’m super glad i asked my friend to come with me bc she was a great support to me and also we talked about an appointment with a career counsellor so that’s super positive and i’m happy that i could verbalize that i was feeling unwell with my job

#also i'm going to contact my psychologist again bc i really really need help #i don't think it's a coincidence that certain incidents happened right after he told me to stop our sessions #lu.txt

You know that trope where a character books a fake therapy session for some ulterior motive (like to investigate something, maybe to subtly interrogate the therapist, or for an opportunity to access to secure documents, etc) but then the therapist ends up getting the character to talk to them in earnest? And the character ends up just completely unzipped by accident? That literally should have happened to Crowley Supernatural

#This might read like a joke but I am so dead serious lol #Crowley spn #My posts #He is someone who needs serious help but he’s also someone who would never even *think* to intentionally enter himself #into the world of psychiatry. #So if he was ever going to end up with a therapist it would have to be by complete accident #This literally could have happened in season 12 like maybe him and Cas need to investigate a therapist in connection with a #Lucifer possession or something and Crowley is like oh *I’ll* do the fake session trust me sweetheart I know these psychologist types #They won’t get to me I’ll just be in and out #And Cas is like.. ok. And Crowley goes in extremely overconfident thinking this therapist is just bacterium to him #All he needs to do is distract them until he gets an opportunity to go through their cabinets or something #All he tells the therapist is that he’s a CEO but they end up sussing out his social difficulties and mother issues freakishly quick #And Crowley ends up taking the whole 50 minutes and coming like dangerously close to a break down #He comes back out with the documents and gets back in the truck looking absolutely hollow and Cas is like. Are you ok #And Crowley is like never better! Please drive #It messes him up for the rest of the day 😭

I wanna sleep so fucking bad. #I NEED to sleep or else tomorrow I will be tired as shit and won’t function. #but my brain is like yea you should think about kys #and it’s like??? we’ve been over this?? #anyway I have been getting help at the uni services but the psychologist assessing me is like. a 60 yo that I don’t feel comfortable with #she’s nice and all but it feels like explaining my problems to my grandma #AND it’s online therapy and this house has paper-thin walls but where tf else would I do the sessions #so I think if anything it’s making shit worse #anyway I am lonely as fuck and I feel stupid lmaoo #also body stuff. I made the mistake of weighting myself a few weeks ago and it goes on a loop-de-loop on my brain #lmao I wish I could shut my brain off with a switch or something. can’t believe there’s people who just. feel normal often.

#istg some of you are so dramatic #I understand there are so many different approaches in therapy and that you may not agree with every single one #but we are not in the 1950s #therapy and psychology in general has evolved #as a psychologist going to therapy under a humanistic approach let me tell you there is nothing wrong with what happened today #it is possible to be in a therapist/patient relationship and respecting boundaries and also cohabitating as humans #many times a safe environment #an actual human connection and a true flawed relationship with a professional will help you way more than having a therapist that sees you #as a diagnosis and a patient file #therapy has evolved people! get over it #you make it sound like he’s sleeping with her 🙄 #my therapist is incredible istg! so supportive. my fucking biggest fan. always complimenting me! we laugh a lot #we enjoy are sessions a lot! and is that trust and level of commitment that ensures me I am safe to be me #our* #bc I know she is a real human and our relationship is authentic #and even when we laugh and joke a lot we both are aware of our roles #she’s still guiding me and helping me become my best and truest self #seriously please idk… take a breather

Hi yes I'm almost 26 years old and I spend my student loans on Yu-Gi-Oh merch, also HELLO I get to wear Seto Kaiba's face on my body my life is complete now (also the fact that the packaging says "feel me" on Seto's cheek is s e n d i n g me)

Funny things my psychologist evaluating if there was something wrong with me (there was) said without really intending to be as funny as she was that will stick with me forever

- Calling both my autism and ocd symptoms “classic” after our first session when she was trying to figure out if there was something there at all

- During session two after I had gotten assigned Mental Illness Quizzes to answer, I clarified that specifically on the autism one I should’ve answered “Yes I do/have this” on more stuff than I did, and she Essentially said that it wasn’t needed because my answers were uber autistic even without the additions

#She was an icon I hope she has a lovely day #Got hard read by my psychologist moment but she was not wrong for it!!! #She do speak nothing but truths #There is also something very funny in me basically #Coming in for two things #One of which I had suspected for 6 years one which was Super obvious with hindsight #Bringing those specific concerns up #The psychologist going #Eh yeah probably bro #And then needing only one and a half session to figure out that #Yeah bro you were right that Is what's wrong with you #Like dude how funny isn't that #I got such a good grade in mental illness that I came having already accidentally aced the exam #I literally went to an evaluator to ask 'Hey this isn't normal right' and basically got told 'Yeah no shit but also here's actual help'

i'm going to look into how i can change to a different psychologist. i still really don't feel that comfortable there. last week she suggested i'd read up on narcissism, not because she thought i was a narcissist, but just to see what i could recognise in myself. it kind of made sense within context but also it did not because what the fuck kind of method is that. and there's been many instances like that, so that i'm always kind of on guard and alert to if what is happening during our sessions actually makes sense and will help me or if it's bullshit that will only confuse me. which = not ideal if the whole idea is that you open up to someone and let yourself be vulnerable :-|

#i voiced this to my psychologist last session but it didn't lead to any conversation that was satisfying to me so i decided to leave #(will keep this decision to myself until i can start at a different psychologist which will probably take at least a few months) #(and will continue going to the old one until then)

[ibijau]

how does one even pick a psychologist anyway

#this is a semi serious question #like ok fine I probably do need help #but there's like ten psychologists in my town at minimum and it's all 60euros for a session and that'd be some expensive trial and error #jau rants
