Dear HenryX did you see your counsellor today or do you see yours fortnightly? I saw my psychologist today and it was a much more enjoyable session than last week. We made a list of pro's and con's of both doing schema therapy and not doing schema therapy. I wonder if you can add any pro's to my list. I will copy them out and then do another post so you can see what I have come up with so far. I have to admit that I didn't come up with all the pro's on my own but let my psychologist help me come up with some as I was a mental blank apart from the fact that it is the recommended course of treatment. At the end of my session I did ask them the questions that I had in mind and I will give you their answers so that I can read back and remember what they said.
What is your area of special interest?
A. Trauma with a specialty in schema therapy, they said they also have access to advise internationally, had done numerous courses and read a dozen books as well as reading research etc.
Why do you want to do this therapy so badly
A. Because I want you to find happiness etc
Who can read your notes
A. Your notes are held on a central file so can be seen by case manager, psychiatrist and psychologist but are quite general in nature. We discussed what today's notes would say and I wasn't worried about them at all but I might be concerned when we talk about more sensitive matters.
