I talked with a Shrink
Many moons ago and several lifetimes I was pointed at a Shrink, A Trick Cyclist. Talk to him they said. He’ll sort you out they said.
Crudely, the answer is Bollocks!
Talk to me he said. Tell me the nightmares. Tell me everything. Don’t be afraid, I can take anything you can hand out.
So I told him, and from the start I knew he lied. I told him the horrors. The nightmares.
I watched him go green. I watched him heave. Then I watched him puke in his waste basket.
I have never been back to those shysters since, but that man did one good thing for me.
He showed me that whatever demons I have I have to deal with them either by myself or with a friend.
All my old friends are gone now, but I’ve found a new one.
She hears the horrors and she doesn’t shrink from them. She can take it. She is one strong lady.

Well being a recently retired ‘Shrink’ I want to say I am sorry that you had such a negative experience. I have worked with victims of sexual trauma and all other types of abuse. There is nothing I didn’t hear, what helped me and of course the person I was working with is that I have been there, done that and got all the T shirts and I let them know this, so I really did understand what they were struggling with…..Yes you need outside support but finding someone to help you through what you are taking on could be important to you. Finding the ‘right’ person is finding one that ‘fits’ YOU…..I am just a message away by the way.
Waylander I have been there and I know where your comming from ,I also found they did no good for me at all, I still have thier torments and the fears and they have been with me for so many years
Way you have a good person there you keep her. You only need one person.I know what you are on about mate. x
I don’t know what to say. Other then we grow to fight our own monsters.
I don’t think anyone can say they know what you are going through Way, as we all have our own different levels to fears, horrors and nightmares. Its finding the right person who will listen without judgement, can help us face our fears and help us deal with them. You are very lucky indeed to have found that person Way. ((((hugs))))
So proud of you that you sought the help you needed, and so pleased also that you found someone who could listen and tune into you , life dishes out some dreadful stuff and it takes a very strong person to pull through all that
terrible stuff well done way.xxx.
