Therapy

So, I went to a therapist for the first time ever, Took me a LONG time to find the courage to go.... and let me tell you. I hated every single minute. How can I trust someone that I don’t know?

What do I say when dealing with a therapist? I'm religious and she keeps saying all my problems come from that and while I get really anxious abt it and question it it makes my bpd worse bc it feels like she's trying to make me give up my beliefs

This is a though one friend! A lot of people believe that therapists can’t make mistakes, which is nonsense. They do, and sometimes they hurt you. So you aren’t in the wrong here! 

When you do believe something, it becomes a part of yourself. Religion more then anything, and although a lot of bad stuff happens because of religion, it is not a good reason for anyone to dismiss it altogether. 

If your therapist is halfway decent, they want feedback. And you have to give it to them, I know this can be nerve wracking. But imagine that you’re merely giving a student feedback to become better, teachers don’t tell students that they did something wrong to mock them (if they’re decent at least) but to push them to become better. 

By being direct you can help your therapist not only help you, but others. And thereby themselves and their career. 

“I hope you don’t find me rude, but I feel like you’ve been dismissing and blaming my religion for everything lately. It really hurts me and my mental health, as my belief is a part of who I am. It is what I find comfort and peace in, and you talking about it in such a negative way is making me feel bad and anxious. You probarbly didn’t mean to, but you almost come across like you’re trying to make me give it up. Which I won’t, and trying to make me do so is only making me feel worse.” 

Now, since this is such a broad subject I’ll break it down so it’s easy to customize. 

“I hope you don’t find me rude-” I’m not sure if they’re good or not, but trying to put them off the defense is a good call anyways. 

“Dismissing/being negative about my religion hurts me.” You’re being honest, and truthful. This also shows how serious things are, and might make them find the matter more seriously as well. 

“My belief is a positive thing for me.” Emphasising that your belief is a good thing, and that you have good experiences with it will reassure them that no, not all problems stems from that. It might be more helpful then hurtful. 

“You probarbly didn’t mean to-” Again, trying to put them off the defensive is a good call no matter what. 

“I don’t have anything against people who don’t believe like I do-” Is a bonus point, and one I recommend.  

I hope it goes well friend, and good luck!

Isnit possible to recover without therapy/dietican?

Yes it is, but we dont recommend it. Ok, recovering without a dietician is clever if the dietician dont have knowledge about calorie needs in recovery. Almost all dieticians are educated in weight loss or how to make meal plans for people with celiac disease and other intolerances and allergies. Thats what they mostly do. The damage caused by an eating disorder is not a part of their curriculum as far as I know. Therapy is on the other hand very, very helpful because here the person is actually EDUCATED in eating disorders (at least psychologists). I have to point out that when I say educated, it does not mean the therapist in all cases has knowledge about the physical stuff such as why it is possible in recovery to loose on 3000 without exercise, and why exercise is PHYSICALLY dangerous in recovery - not only because of the calorie burning and mental aspect. If you get a therapist or dietician; show them this page! :)- Amalie
