How great that the counsellor picked up that you hadn't enjoyed the session and asked you to e-mail her. She is obviously quite empathetic and picked up on your feelings. E-mailing gives you the chance to say what you would maybe find hard to say face to face just now. She is also happy to go at your pace, so she has no agenda, no preconceived ideas of how this should pan out. Well done you for feeling better about it once you heard from her. Hold that thought!

Sorry

Nothing to be sorry for, all any of us can do is try. It really does sound as if you have found a good counsellor, so try to keep going to the sessions. if they don't fix all the problems, they may help a bit.

Living with anxiety and other mental illnesses
Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

I went to see this counsellor for 6 sessions, she was so nice and said she saw potential and thought she could do further work as the sessions were due to finish but she said that she thought I could do with more sessions to process things. Things that are not in my conscious grasp at the moment but are starting to show up. She said we should talk further and look at things that have happened. Things that I might and might not be aware of as yet. She made me feel so normal and like there was hope. I want to see her again and I want things to change and I will see her again as she is the only person that made me feel this and that I felt safe with. However, I have heard lots of different things about therapy if you have had psychosis...and am unsure whether this is good or bad or indifferent. I have a real urge to go back just because I really like her. I'm not sure though whether I should be doing this though. There is so much going on....symptoms worse, symptoms better. I'm not sure.
