"I think my pdoc stays distant when things are going badly with me."
Doesn't that bother you? My best friend plus my husband, both told me I'm suppose to talk about everything to the psych. So finally I open up and tell him about some disturbing thoughts that I have had since a teenager. I can't control when they pop-up. They use to cause me quite a bit of anxiety, but by now I'm so use to it I learn to bide my time and they go away. I wanted some feedback. Nothing! I want to push for an answer but am more scared of how I'll look. I guess that is sortof how RZip feels?
I think when someone is having a hard time they need reassurance, etc.
RZip you have a double whammy! Have you ever tried writing down what you want to talk about prior to a session and then read from it to get started? You won't have to make eye-contact. It may help. You could even imagine you're here with all you cyber-pals chatting. You're not shy with us.
