Psychotherapy
"Psychotherapy is an interpersonal, relational intervention used by trained psychotherapists to aid clients in problems of living. This usually includes increasing individual sense of well-being and reducing subjective discomforting experience. Psychotherapists employ a range of techniques based on experiential relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavior change and that are designed to improve the mental health of a client or patient, or to improve group relationships (such as in a family)." Taken from Wikipedia
So it's been a while since I sent off the forms to get my initial appointment. It finally came through today. I still have a couple of weeks to wait but the appointment is there. It says in the letter that this appointment is to talk to one of the practitioners and to decide whether or not psychotherapy is actually the right thing for me to do. I still have my doubts, and now I feel better about things I don't understand why I got so bad, certainly I don't understand why I got so bad I ended up cutting myself again. There was nothing there for me to get upset about. I just have to stop being over dramatic and except that things are shite, things won't change and that there is no reason or nothing that is so upsetting that I should be cutting myself. It's all rather silly really. I need to get over myself.
Anyway the appointments been made, I need to take a little time off work, and we'll have to see what happens. I'm a little apprehension about this since I don't understand the process or how it could help me, or what it will do to me. Nevertheless, it's there and I shall be going to it. I'm just not sure what good it will do.
I guess one positive approach would be to take along a list of your
questions and concerns to that first interview. There are three good
questions just in your final paragraph; and then the real biggie is how you
can address what happens when things are really bad, at a time when things
are reasonably okay. My impression - from a distance - is that you were
definitely not being "over dramatic" or "silly" when you were struggling
and that "getting over yourself" was not the issue. So they should be able
to explain to you how they work with you to deal with this.
I don't' know about support. The Boys have said that they would be there
for me, but one thinks this is something I can 'just get over', while the
other one I have such strong feelings for I don't think I could talk to
him. There is M and L, but they have so much on their plate I'm not sure
about it. I don't know what I'm going to do. I suppose I have this
blog... I don't know, I'm just going to have to see what happens.
