Guys im gonna challenge this "professional" on my behalf...if any of you would like to join me go for it.. I know for a fact , that clearly this individual is a complete amatuar in psychology or has gone into it for the wrong reasons....I find her more disturbing than I find us. We are natural......okay here goes...guys let her make you feel bad im gonna take her on...........
If you wonder why therapists may be hesitant to continue working with you or seem distant, try to remember that we are human, and in fact, these requests are extremely disturbing and can cause quick burnout.-Firstly let it be said that
I assume you clearly have no expertise...if I was the american psychological association you wouldnt have a license and let me tell you ...firstly to come on this site and put us all down is entirely incoreect..you have no empathy for the uniqunes of ourselve and our thereputic relationships....you dont understand the dynamics and our therapists are able to deal with us. We are not psycho murders nor are we people commiting crimes against anyone.Freud-the greatest thinker alive ..[if u disagree u obviously dont like reading abt sex] anyway if u have read the history freud was accused of making his patients fall in love with him , transferance occured with most of his clients and he understood. He wasnt afraid of it nor did he blame his clients....so maybe you should take out your personal matters with freud!
Secondly there are many ways of dealing with a patient with a BPD ever heard of dialectical behaviour therapy, evre heard about its SUCESS RATE?
"Not only do these teenybopper crushes create severe ethical dilemmas, they also are extremely insulting." firstly teenybopper crushes is a bit extreme - we arent high school kids looking a little boy , some of us arent even "in love" with our therapists which is me for one. why are they extremely insulting? natural feelings occur and some people do experience levels of transferance...as human beings we are entitled to our feelings and have ever right to them...we arent killing our therapists spouses nor are we going to sessions and ripping there clothes off.
for those people who do have romantic intrests in there therapists they know ethics and boundries the same way as therapists do and they know the difference between fantasy and reality.Many therapists make there own decisions and know just how much they can handle....are u saying that all BPD patients need to be instutionlised it is a personality disorder accoring to the DSM! should it just be written off?
I personally use the pic of my therapist for comfort when im feeling down , I dont sit there "getting off" on the picture, I dont put it on the internet or threaten any with it.
You have gone into psychology for the wrong reasons and I question how appropriate you are?
We would never step foot in your office , you clearly have no regard for humanity or the suffering of individuals...what about those patients who came from dysfunctional families and who see therapists in a parental role....I hope you never get any patients like us....we are too good for you...we have more depth and insight into psychology and the thereputic relationship than you do.
these are people in a lot of pain and they dont all have BPD-wrong analyzation-"shrink"!how would u feel if one of us had to kill ourselves due to your words.....what then?
HOPE U ENJOYED THIS LITTLE KODAK MOMENT!
