Just curious
As I’m seeing one and I think that because on first visit I told her my dad died when I was under 3 . I have 5 siblings also.
She thinks my mum must of been depressed(which I’m sure she would of been) and I didn’t get the love, care and attention a under 3 would need. I told her obviously I don’t remember anything being so young and just got on playing , going to school and normal sibling playing together.
She seems to be so focused on this, saying things like
If I hurt myself and mum was obviously depressed, who would of I gone to for reassurance? I said mum. She seems to think she was depressed I wouldn’t of got it ,as I needed it.
I just said, yes but families with 2 sets of parents and 6 children probably also didn’t get as much attention as a 1-2 child family
Times were so different in the late 50’s 60’s as I know from having a daughter myself in a one parent family from the age of 4 with her.
I had one on one time with her, not 6 others .
I suffer from anxiety/depression, over 35 yrs now on and off lasting over a year recently.
She seems to think I want things I can’t always get, like
Wanting a cpn, psych and phone number to crisis team when struggling
I had this last time when poorly, but didn’t fit criteria this time(nhs goal post moved massively)
Also attention and support I think I need from hubby, im not getting as he’s quite pro active even when down himself won’t let it get to him.
I’ve waited nearly a year for this, and not sure this is what is actually causing me to constantly suffer anxiety/depression and don’t want to waste this time.
Can anybody advise, or maybe you got the wrong therapy
