assertiveness

By jpw2008 Tuesday, January 26, 2010

hi everybody

I just left therapy because I felt intimidated by the staff there

This has been going on for at least 3 years

I don't know how to be assertive.She thinks almost everything is wrong

I left the therapy because of this

I think it got worse because my friend died

I really don't have that many people to talk to

I got flustered and left

Hey Jon

 

So who is "she" that you are talking about?  A therapist?  What were they doing that you didn't like?  Maybe next time instead of leaving you can tell them what is bugging you about what they are doing. 

 

Let us know more about what happened...

hi

I had mentioned it before

Its been an ongoing thing for years

 in one instance I was helping cook for a lunch

I was trying to help I was told that I was breathing on the food

Today she said to the whole group to turn the lights ff to save electricity

she goes on and on with rule after rule

And you must strictly obey them or consequences happen

I think it reminded me of living with my Father

It makes me feel inadequate

Jon
