I've been talking to a counselor for about 4 months. A few weeks ago I told her that I'm a member of this site and I haven't heard from her since. What the fuck?!?!
what came up where you needed to tell her that you are registered hereI've been talking to a counselor for about 4 months. A few weeks ago I told her that I'm a member of this site and I haven't heard from her since. What the fuck?!?!
Probably doesn't want to have a suicide on their record. Might ruin their CV.
It is possible there's another reason you haven't heard from them though.
I completely agree with all of this post but in particular with the observation that counselors are egoistically buoyed by their position.I am not surprised, as my experience with some/the greater share of counselor type people, at least for me, was about money AND EGO. Do what I think, do as I say, hit yourself in my square hole, no matter the shape you are,,etc.
It makes me so sad and hurts me so, to see you unhappy and wondering. I hope that you find someone who can help, as we are together here on Sanctioned Suicide and I extend lots of hugs and caring to you, my awesome friend.

It just came up and I talk to much.what came up where you needed to tell her that you are registered here
Now your title is quite accurate, mine knows although doesn't know the name. I i only mentioned once or twice in the beginning long time ago
Not that I can think of. We were just starting DBT and I thought things were going well.Probably doesn't want to have a suicide on their record. Might ruin their CV.

thanx for your reply, I agree if they are not willing to work with certain 'types' and do not take the time to refer or even respond, they should be reported and no longer allowed to practice, or maybe they need to go back to ethics class in school and practice there until they figure out how to actually work with humansI am sorry to have to say this - but any, and I mean ANY professionally trained/registered mental health professional that drops the patient without any follow up and/or referral to a more appropriate professional if, and that too is valid, they feel that they can't/won't deal with a suicidal patient is NOT worthy working in the field and should be banned from practicing on both professional and ethical grounds.
Sorry if this is too long response and/or I came across (once again) as some once put it 'on a high horse' (trust me I have no clue what the bloody horse meant to represent) but it is the only thing that gets me really livered - when people, unwell people, struggling people, ask for help, are willing to engage in help, only for some dick and harry to pull the rug under them! It makes my blood pump to stroke levels!
I think I was also getting pissed off about the recent media stories and about how wrong they are and how this site has actually helped in a lot of ways.what came up where you needed to tell her that you are registered here
Holy sticks. I experience this too with the mental health medical field. For me, therapy sessions turn into full out arguments between opinions and afterwards the occasional, "I don't feel safe with letting you leave".I completely agree with all of this post but in particular with the observation that counselors are egoistically buoyed by their position.
In my experience counselors (including medical doctors and psychologists) get off on the inherent dynamic of superiority over a client/patient that flatters their ego.
There's an instilled misunderstanding as the health and safety ans safeguarding precautions have becone more important than a clients true well being. They've been taught to do their job a certain way and they answer to their superiors/paycheck providers. It's similar to the group histeria of religion. Everyone reinforcing the crazy in one another as their motives and baseline is no longer grounded in fact but belief. They'll even choose their 'facts' to fit their beliefs and make you feel likely the crazy one for seeing the truth/facts.Holy sticks. I experience this too with the mental health medical field.

They have the complete power to force someone into a hospital without much proof.
Not to mention the empty platitudes and shaming me for being pessimistic while also being overwhelming optimistic. The hypocrisy that they are able to think tgat I wrong for seeing eveything bad while they view mostly everthing in rise-tinted glasses.
I really do feel like "saving" us plays a part into their savior complexes.
