It is all very well to say things about ones therapist and even more helpful to reflect on ones own feelings as they do that.<br /><br />Recently an alternative therapist I saw stepped beyond the bounds of what I had come to know as our "work together". This was very confusing after my treatment. I just let it go. I havent done anything to her - she must have been having a bad day? <br /><br /> Perhaps I will bring that up with her next time or I could have a whinge about her or never go back?

When I deleted it it disappeared into cyber space.<br /><br />I think it is OK to comment on clients (I do it) as long as the client data is fictionalized. It is regularly done in the professional literature which is also information in the public realm.<br /><br />Regarding ethics it depends what type of indepth comments by the therapist of the client. Cleints often comment about their strong emotional reactions to therapy and therapists in blogs. <br /><br />It is probably generally accepted that therapists can have some emotional rections as long as they are not too strong. Certainly not as strong as one reads of clients comments about their therapists in blogs<br /><br />GraffitiTony Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034697658099080220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289688322615470169.post-2850711403879820682009-08-04T17:49:51.138+08:002009-08-04T17:49:51.138+08:00Hi Roses,

They have changed all the names in recent years and now it can be referred to as attention deficit disorder = distractibility. One has trouble with their attention because they get distracted.<br /><br />Some when having a conversation can't have the radio going on in the background because the radio grabs some of their attention and thus they can't properly attend to the conversation.<br /><br />If a young child is in a classroom and there is other significant noise or movement going on they find it hard to 'attend' to what the teacher is saying and thus the under perform = dyslexia<br /><br /><br />TonyTony Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034697658099080220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289688322615470169.post-29626716842434529702009-08-04T17:43:50.760+08:002009-08-04T17:43:50.760+08:00I think you observations of therapy is quite apt h...I think you observations of therapy is quite apt harriet.

I must admit that after a bit of a search, well, your suggestion may not be far off target. You think and its lovely.<br /><br />He knows about the 'noise' thing, and last night we didn't have to sleep with the telly on all night. I don't remember anything from when i closed my eyes till - the telly (vaguely) @ around 6 this morning and then the time we got up at around 7.30. Oh my goodness! It was wonderful!<br /><br />We usually have the telly going while we sleep and though i don't sleep well because of that, the days are usually filled with quiet times, and somehow that makes it ok.<br /><br />It isn't easy for him, his ears buzz... umm, tenitus(sp?) And since we began our holidays his muscles are cramping up causing terrible head aches and bone strain. If we keep on holidays for just a few more days he'll begin to relax and then a week more and i'll meet with the man i fell in love with again. That's the only time i get to meet him. Once, for a few days, every few years, and only if we get through the initial stress-detox week at the beginning.<br /><br />He's considering going home tomorrow and building the fence and then attempting to go away again the following week or so. I hope that doesn't stop the de-stressing. I guess its his holiday and so i'll leave it up to him to make the choices.<br /><br />I hope you're having the funnest Monday you've ever had.roseshttp://mymindurplace.blogstream.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289688322615470169.post-27976764845536607022009-08-03T09:07:01.084+08:002009-08-03T09:07:01.084+08:00And another thing I was thinking of today.

It is the fact that three times during the course of the 45 minute session my therapist brought up the fact that I am "different" than most people. Well, one of the times I asked him if anyone else ever said "...", so he didn't initiate that, but his answer was "no, only you."<br /><br />I bet if someone asked him about our session last week he would have a totally different view of it than I did.Harriethttp://harrietmwelch.comnoreply@blogger.com
