Can psychologists ruin your life?

Question

Can psychologists ruin your life?

My college counselor already new that I was having a rough time, yet she proceeded to go into the more sensitive subjects. She made me even sicker. She didn't bother helping me with my current problems. That wee when she went into that subject I had midterm examinations, I failed ALL of them. I hate her. I studied hard!!! Did she think that I would get better over night? She didn't warn me that my raw emotions would come out. She through me in the dark without a flashlight. What a *****. People are dangerous.

Even if some of you guys are right, I can not take away my anger. When I try to stay positive, something or someone just makes me snap. I'm not that sweet, trustworthy person I use to be. I've lost my mind and I casn snap at any moment. Help

I'm just saying that she should have had more sense!!! Her timing was wrong. I'm aware that when you touch upon a sensitive subject raw emotions come up.

They told me specifically that I was to discuss private issues with my COLLEGE COUNSELOR, not grades.

Answer 1

Always something is happening in our life. The question is how u persive it and upon that perseption u will act accordingly. What i mean a glass can be half empty or half full of water!. Whatever happened with the counselor is over and done with. Consedrate on school, because at the end of the day the diploma is the one that will pull u through in life. A semester is gone, so what? There is ......another one! Oh boy i wish i was ther to pull that counselors ear. Life was both good and bad for me as a college student but now i only digest on good things. A role model, i guess thats what is missing u right now, is someone u admire? May be .....Angelina Joly? May be ...Supernova? LOL

Regardless of what your counselor said, it is your responsibility to take your final exams and do your best. Blaming someone else for your grade doesn't make sense. Also consider that if this counselor was not appropriate for you, you need to switch to another person who is more suitable. When you say you "snap at any moment", there is a lot going on with you, which treatment may help. Hang in there and work on it with a competent professional, you will feel better.

Answer 3

I see a psychologist and she hasn't tried to ruin my life or anything. Only been seeing her since December, but really, I only go to her so she can give me medication for my depression and anxiety (since I don't have a family doctor to go to). And I haven't had any problems with my counselor either. Even the counselor isn't trying to ruin my life.

If you feel like this counselor or psychologist is trying to ruin or life or is really making you feel bad, maybe you should find someone else. The first psychologist I talked to a couple years ago, I did not like her at all. She made me feel bad and I made mention to my Vocational Rehab. counselor that I did not want to see this psychologist again.
It may take some time to find the psychologist or counselor that you like, someone that you can talk to without that person making you feel bad. And if he or she tries to get you to talk about a problem that you're not ready to tell them about, let them know and maybe find something else to talk about. It can take time to build enough trust with the counselor or psychologist, it could take time before you're comfortable enough to tell him or her any problems you're having, and they should be respectful of that.

Answer 4

Nope. You are still doing it and now you are trying to rationalize your anger. Still being a victim. WHY are you using this woman as a therapist? She is to counsel you for your school work. Get another school counselor. Take some responsibility. If you think she behaved improperly, then report her to the dean. Instead of whining, do something POSITIVE.

Answer 5

i think they can convince you that something is wrong with you. you go to them , so you already think your all messed up, so then they can play on that to them medicate you and keep you coming to them (for money)
you just need time to think about what is going on and how your actions can resolve it. no one knows you better that you, just try , make a list or something, what to do and ways to get it done...
they learn from books too, but everyone is unique, textbook knowledge is standard.

hang in there,maybe find someone with similar life experience for advice......

A bad one can. a good one shouldn't.
