Thanks both Liese and Starfish, I guess I am not sure myself personally about the psychologist, he does not seem to have worked much on himself, but there again, I am assuming. I shall ask him that again tomorrow.
I jsut don't get a good sense of him, but then I have been abused by the last man I worked for, so i am going to be nervous of men.
He is good on the phone but he gives little eye contact in person.
Also, he is 'Mental Health' what is called 'secondary services' here - so it feels very different, I am taken into a secure building with peeling paint and a sense that I am a potential risk, buzzed through doors and taken into a bare room, with two chairs.
Today for the 'no tea' T, there were sheepskins on the floor and large cushions to lie on and candle lit and sandelwood burning, with nice pictures and soft lighting. And I pay, and I have some control because of that.
With the psychologist he has already decided I only need 50 minutes every two weeks for one year only.
I have no say in this.
That is quite a good reason not to work with him as with my deep traumas, one year is probably not going to be enough.
and I am not sure he is as well trained as your lot out there, he has no knowledge of body work and he has not spotted I dissociate nor been aware of how to respond when I go into deep states of trauma release,
so - I see him tomorrow, 12.30pm
I keep walking - just taking baby steps
my ex C - she just sent an email suggesting we meet on the 17th instead.
I feel sick when I think of her.
god, what a journey
