My mom is trying to force me to see a therapist (again) sometime next week because she thinks the "lack of a male role model" in my life, and what happened with my biological dad, is "affecting" me somehow, even though that's total bull. I refused to go and refused to even talk about it. I already had to go to a therapist three years ago for some stuff, and I don't want to (or need to) go again. If she wants me to go, she's going to have to physically break down the door and haul me to the car, because I'm not going.


Well, she finally made me go.
The therapist was nice. She basically talked at me for fourty-five minutes while I sat in a rocking chair studying my nails and mentally humming song lyrics. The session was supposed to last for an hour, but she realized that I wasn't saying anything and let me go early.
Hopefully I won't have to go back.

If there isnt anything wrong why are you so determined to not go?

I'm most likely going to be asked personal questions that will be very hard to answer; the entire ordeal will be awkward and unnecessary.
And after a bad experience three years ago, I am extremely unwilling to go again.

well, if you don't need to go, the going would be a waste of time =P

Sometimes people refuse help because they are in denial of their problems, so I was just asking.

Silly head.

Well of course I've got problems (doesn't everyone?), but sticking me in a small room with my mom (we don't get along) and a therapist is not the best way to solve them.
Dunno, I just had to vent a bit =P

Your mom is going to be in the room?
Thats whacked up.

Ive been to therapists before, but never have my parents been in the room.

Yeah, that's got to be uncomfortable, and a bad move for the therapist, because it's highly unlikely you'll open up with your mum sitting there.

Thats extremely unprofessional.
I now see why you dont wanna go.

After I found out my therapist was saying everything I told her to my mom I was pissed and stopped going.

Exactly. That sucks...I thought therapists were supposed to have a confidentiality pact or something?

Yes.
Youre supposed to be able to talk to those people in confidence that they wont tell anyone.  
PostPosted: Wed Feb 18, 2009 5:33 pm

That's definitely not fair then |:< It would've pissed me off too.
I'm a very private person so therapy didn't and still probably won't work for me neutral

Well therapists are supposed to provide an unbiased outlet for you to talk about whatever is bothering you and find a solution to make you feel better. They are supposed to allow private people a way to discuss things they wouldnt let anyone else know.

But if you have family spying on your conversations there is no way it can ever work.
