upset

[deird1]

I am rather angry.

My psychologist says she's "sceptical" about learning disabilities. So far it hadn't been a problem; today it became one.

I was mentioning organisational issues (am several days overdue with some bills, still) and she started trying to tell me it was because I'm not prioritising, have a mental block about paperwork, and need a new perspective. All with this superior smile, as if she could see how in denial I was being.

I was upset. Now I'm angry.

I will give her one more session, and if she can't get it by then, I'm out. I will NOT be told I could do these things I have tried (and failed) so many years to do. I won't let her pile guilt onto me for not being better at these things I've become so good at dealing with. I will not be told I'm just lazy.

Not again.

I am boiling with rage on your behalf right now. She's about as qualified to be a psychologist as I am to be a nuclear physicist. I am boggling at the fact that she doubts the existence of learning disabilities! Does she also think that the Earth is flat and that the moon landings were filmed at a Hollywood studio?

I agree with the commenter who said that a bad psychologist can do actual harm. If I were you, I would walk away.
