Okay, first of all I should really be working on my term paper for my psychology class, but I'm completely bored with it (it's on bpd, go figure). Anyway, I have temporarily abandoned the project so that I can ask you for ideas. Do not suggest Schizoid or Schizotypal PD because I no longer want to ever hear those words again. :)
Any other ideas? I thought about doing something like you did for your Bipolar essay, but I realized that two other people aside from the teacher will be reviewing this...so, that idea won't work.> Oh Elle, don't give me tips on how to search for info on my shrink....Girl that's looking for trouble....
Sorry, I didn't think about that. No more tips for Karen.
> I was SOOOOOOO close to telling him that I googled him and found a picture of his old lady last session.
Do I really have to tell you that what you did was NOT inappropriate?
1. The info was on the Internet, therefore, public. Obviously she wanted other people to see her and her little dog (it was her dog right?). She can't very well limit who sees the info, she can't say, well I want all of my hubby's non-patients to see this, but his patients must not view it...
2. I can't think of a number 2 right now.
But, if you must tell him this tasty tidbit, then make sure to let him know that you did this during the time you had a crush on him. You're not still doing this are you (the research)??
>I might tell him next week, but I'm afraid that it might slip out that I'm disappointed in him for not marrying a trophy bride.
I wouldn't tell him that you find his wife ugly if I were you! :)
>but I still feel that I invaded his personal life and I feel guilty for that.
I already went over this part above, but I'll restate it just for you. It was on the Internet, therefore public information.
> I'm really worried now that maybe he's going to terminate because I ask too many questions and he's apt to answer them when he shouldn't.
I doubt it. He probably knows you *have* to ask these questions in order to get better.
>I want to bring it up, but he gets really defensive and I know that he may bring my faulty memory into it.
Then just come right out and ask him if he's uncomfortable with any of the questions you've asked up until this point. Let him know your concerns.
>oh man, I'm causing myself to get all anxious over nothing I'm sure...I hope???
I think so... :) Don't worry, it will be fine.
