Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Re: Where to go from here?

That's actually a really good idea. I could go anywhere I want, have some housing, get an on campus job, get on the good side of a few professors and have some references, have a degree and open up...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I think we haven't fully discussed it all yet--the specific topic of the fish, yes, but more the bigger topics that have come up from it.

And yes, the self-comfort stuff definitely takes...

Re: High sex drive?

Are you in your 20s? 30s? I was that way when I was younger. I think it’s perfectly normal. It changes with age. I understand no privacy but where are you seeing your partner? You mentioned having...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

So - what else then do you want from him? He discussed it - where do you go next? From here it looks like you still want him to do something else.

Keep practicing the self comfort techniques-...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I have not seen where you are talking about the pain of the loss - the focus I have read about here is on getting him to act differently - not you wanting to talk about your fish connection. That is...

wishing like the end of my natural life would just hurry up (triggering maybe?)

Not sure if this is a trigger, but just in case:

I'm 46, and I've been dealing with mental health issues since I was 20. On the gamut of psych meds since then. In and out of therapy. I don't...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Wanting for her therapist to do an act is exactly what needs to be looked at though. The desire to control is perfectly acceptable (the realisation of it, not always), but this is exactly where he...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I don't think this is lining up. I completely understand the guy not wanting other people's stuff in his office. I agree with him on that. Even people I love don't get to decorate my house.

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

This is a good point. Maybe some of this is my suppressing needs for years to appease him and stay on his good side. And it's coming to a head with the fish, so to speak. Like a cresting wave in the...

Re: Differences in mindset once you're not poor anymore

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

This is true. But there’s really only one sure solution: find a therapist you don’t feel you have to be small with.



Actually, beyond natural inclination, it may depend on the person you’re...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Good point, Comrade.

The therapeutic relationship is hardly the space where one should make oneself smaller to acquiesce to the therapist's process.

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

I think it's difficult to identify what is in the territory of an ultimatum and what is confirmation of incompatibility. X years don't always mean much if over that time you have been suppressing...

Re: Couch 248: Curiouser and Curiouser

Why would you give your T an ultimatum? Do this one thing or else? Don't the past x years mean anything? I don't get it. Has he offered you an ultimatum? If he did, what would it be? YKWIM.

Re: Differences in mindset once you're not poor anymore

I'm a frugal person at heart, probably due to years of being broke.
