Hi every body;
My name is Amen,I’m 24 years old,and I’m a new mwmber at your forum.Yesterday;I posted a question at your other site www.clinical-depression.co.uk. Melissa Lipps at the customer suppoort was thoutful and caring enough to answer me quickly,so thank you Melissa.She suggested that I should post my question to your lovely forum so that I could get many helpful opinions,and benefit every body.So,here is my question:
[I discovered recently that I'm suffering from
depression for a long long time.I absorbed all the information that you
offered in the Depression Learning Path,then I went to see a
therapist.He decided that he will need 8 sessions with me to decide the
exact kind, the severity of my depression,and how he would treat me.The
thing is I don't feel comfortable with him because he is digging to much
into my past and he is very determined to reveal it.He wants to understand
why I'm suffering from depression to treat me.I've been in three
sessions with him and each time I feel worse.I told him about my
feelings; his answer was that he wants to know what reasons in my past
caused me to be depressed then he would treat me accordingly.My
questions are; is his method good or is it too early to decide?If it is’nt
good; what should I do? If it's good, is my feeling a natural sign
that I'm getting out of my comfort zone and growing?Could you advice me
pleas.I'm going to stick with him and continue my sessions with him
untill I hear from you.(P.S.:if you asking about my past the answer
would be; yes I suffered from bad cercumstances and bad treatment growing
up).]
Thank you;
Amen
