hey there.
i have similar struggles.
with particular clinicians...
and with the 'system' that assigned them to me...it can be really very hard
to appreciate that sometimes people are harmed more than they are helped
and that hurts real bad and feels like such an immense betrayal sometimes because...
they are supposed to help
and in some cases
we pay them a lot of money for it.i rage sometimes...
but i don't rage anywhere near as much as i used to.
a huge part of it for me...
was my thinking on what happened
and being willing to try my hardest to construe the 'story' of what happened
in a way that leaves me feeling a little better about the situation
and leaves me feeling a little better about myself
and a little better about themso, for example
one of my clinicians who i really raged at...
well, i suppose he was trying his best
but he didn't really know what to do
(he was a human being with limitations just like me)
and he was really very overworked
and was pressured to drop my case
and...
so...
it ain't so bad.but sometimes it can take a bit to figure out an interpretation...
glad you are feeling heaps better about your life :-)
maybe... your experiences helped you learn that...
the power to get better...
was within you.
