If they don't, switch professionals. Don't be afraid to give this one the boot. My sister had to see three psychologists before she found one that really took the time to understand her situation and could help her.
I completely understand what you are saying. I just don't know if I am bothered by not wanting to talk about my thoughts and crying; which I hate, or if I was bothered by how, almost kind of rude he was in way. Or, if it is a combination of both.
I told my parents I don't want to go back, but I don't know at this point.

Why don't you pm someone here that you trust about the details you don't want to write about publicly? You should also be able to discuss these issues with your primary doc, who should have an idea of the feedback is out of line. If the therapist has an extensive history of pain patients, his comments about your guarding are odd. You probably do need to switch, but getting the feedback from someone that knows you is a good idea.

Hello.. in response to your concerns.. well first it is always up to you what you share, how much and with whom. that is just the way it goes. second if you are seeing a shrink and you don't want to. then you will not get any positive results and there fore pointless to go. I feel if you want to open up. why should you pay someone to listen. thats just weird, that said I have a shrink.. I haven't really said much to him except what i feel he wants to hear. (again pointless and a waist of time.) but on another note I come onto this site or others like air and vent. I can honestly say this much. I have still not been completely forth coming regarding every thing I feel, but here I don't really need to be as I have seen others explain how I feel. or things I am having difficulty with. this site and others like it have helped me keep somewhat SAIN. Now I am not saying don't go to a shrink, that is your choice. but unfortunately the only advice I can give is you hold this answer on what to do. If the dr makes you uncomfortable though then maybe you should consider a change. .. I wish you luck with your decision. It can't be en easy one.. best wishes and soft hugs to you
