Yes the problem is very current - I had no idea what to expect from this type of therapy other than it's supposed to help with phobias. I didn't expect to have to rehash my past. I was asking if anyone knew if this was usual for this therapy. I've been prescribed HRT for severe hormones issues so it...

The only relevant thing is the problem I have gone for help with. So why bring up my childhood. I've mentioned the accident but also that I have no issues around it.

But why would I need to delve into the past to deal with a specific phobia? I'm not saying it won't work at all! I dont understand why something that happened 35 years ago is relevant.

I've had my second session of emdr today. At the initial session we went through my life and some of the things I've been through. I went for EMDR for help with a phobia of taking meds. I was very hormonal at that session and was upset and crying at recalling some things that usually wouldn't get me...

Julius. If you had a magic wand I'd like you to take this anxiety away. Sadly I know that won't happen! I want happy me back but better than that. I'd like to work on an improved version! Richard I fear none of those things but i agree with you absolutely. My family and friends will support me. I'm ...

3 months on and things have got no better. I confronted him with the dating site and he promised to not do it only to do it again a week later. The reason given to me was I was checking his emails. Yes because I didn't trust him! at Xmas we had a car accident which caused my hovering anxiety to rock...

Thanks Leigh - I use Headspace as i get a good deal alongside Spotify! very good as are meditation apps.

Hormones - always been a problem - PND after both kids and PMT - now approaching perimenopause and things are worsening Mental Health - had an episode of agitated depression 2004 - Velafaxine 37.5mg sorted me nicely was on it for around 9...

Thank you Helen yes it does. I spoke to the practice manager who told me the therapist had had an incident in the morning and was quite stressed and she felt they were projecting this? I said perhaps the sessions should have been cancelled. She was very apologetic and has offered a new counsellor.

Surely I should trust they know what they are talking about and are bound by codes of practice and ethics? I didnt agree hence saying my piece. Im going for me not for my husband - Ive had a lot of emotional crap and needed some help making sense of it

Thanks Roady i was saying it from a professional point of view not because i believe it. I am looking elsewhere with recommendations. Of course im angry at my husband but im an intelligent woman and can see that he isnt a full blown psycopath which the counsellor was saying.

Thats what i thought i have no idea why and it concerned me greatly

Hi no she hasnt

Im attending counselling sessions (2 so far) following husband infidelity. Yesterday i ended up being not only confused but very angered by the counsellor rattling off a list of the traits of a psychopath and announcing my husband is one. I ended up arguing back - he lacks self confidence, is not gl...

I have no answers for you as I am going through a similar thing having just found my husband on a dating site.I even hacked into it and read all the messages and when confronted he denies it all. Loves me, I am hia life etc etc. I honestly think some people are just intrinsically incapable of being ...
