became depressed after visiting psychologist

[Aquarius]

I went to a psychologist and I felt really depressed afterwards. It isn't helping. But I feel like I need help sometimes.

I felt loved and respected by people before, but now it all starts to fade and I developed anger issues. Is this a normal reaction?

Yes I think so, it's like uncovering some dormant emotion within you that you've swept away for quite some time. Better to keep track of how you are feeling after each session. Sometimes the devil has to be called upon in order for you to actually look at it and slay the demon.

Maybe the anger/ resent was deep inside you for quite some time, like a leech in your body for quite some time. But as you clear up your psyche you pick out the leech and all the underlying pain surfaces. 

So maybe it is a good thing. Good to notice your feelings throughout sessions.

Ride the waves graciously @Aquarius it's all part of the process ❤️

@clouffy but i dont feel anything anymore right now what do i do

@Charlotte ok i try

[Aquarius]

@Charlotte @clouffy Sorry for my lousy reply, I was in the midst of an enlightenment experience and lacked the concentration to type anything. 

My problem with the psychologist is that she doesn't believe in God and doesn't know anything about spirituality, and all my problems are spiritual in nature and I'm not sure if I should visit a psychologist or a different practitioner for that?

@Aquarius don't apologise. 

Have you looked into a humanistic therapist?

I asked her if she heard about positive psychology, and she said she's not using that approach. She went on and on saying who brought that approach into the country. She's a hypnotherapist. She's very observant and caring and loving, but the whole approach is yellow af. 

I noticed she is able to feel the energy from my healing semi-precious stones. But that's about it. 

Today she noticed I don't feel anything physically without me telling her! What the hell...

Relating to my enlightenment process and spiritual practices.

@Aquarius Empty yourself. Talk, type, write, sing, scream, yell....just keep emptying.

Yeah, the therapy helps a bit. I've only been like 3-4 times, it takes time.

My mind is already empty. I have no idea what to write or type.

Why? What happened / what was said? 

It isn't helping. But I feel like I need help sometimes.

Step one is to be aware of this which help is needed for. What do you need help with? If you could snap your fingers and have, do, be, anything - what would it be?

I felt loved and respected by people before, but now it all starts to fade and I developed anger issues. Is this a normal reaction? 

What are you angry about?  At someone? At your circumstances? Something from the past, something in your potential future? 

And of course it’s a normal reaction.  

There is someone, or something, or some thought - which you are holding a part from you. What is it?

@Nahm We made a test and it has brought up my past because it had questions for the last 6 months, and I change radically each day. It has slowed down my evolutionary process. I seriously tend to not care about my past, as if I got reborn or something.

"You can have everything but you have no desires anymore. You can get all the answers but you have no questions anymore."

I keep hearing this in my head when I ask myself what's the problem. I assume I lost something. But I don't know what.

Lust for life, perhaps?

That's a good thing to get a depression, you can see which lies you tell yourself.

Don't dismiss a good therapy as if it can't help you, even Shinzen Young got to see therapists after his enlightenment.

equation is simple.

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

your expectations = the reality  (this is wat you want, expect or you want right hand side to be greater i.e)

your expectations < the reality

 

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

if neither of those cases happen to be true i.e

your expectations > the reality (what happened)
 

you get depressed and any sort of "bad" feeling.

 

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

fitting this equation to your case is:

 

your expectations from the therapist = outcomes must be what I had think of

your expectations from the therapist < outcomes must be or greather than what I had think of

 

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

if this was what happened, we wouldn't see you here in this thread but this is what happened:

your expectations from the therapist > outcomes must be what I had think of

 

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

so simply talking about it and presenting equations and analyzing what happened is not enough right?

so we have to think about a solution to fix this problem. the fix is simple but also its hardness comes from its simplicity. 

 

1) investigate what was your expectations. 

2) investigate what had did not fulfill on outcome.

 

so that fix the equation.

 

_,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,__,.-'~'-.,_

Since the exact same thing happened me recently, I will do this simple exercise for you.

 

1) I wanted a cure, fix to myself of being depressed. I did not know why I have been feeling this way.

2) Outcome was neither I saw any fix nor my depression went away.

 

So what was the problem there? you cannot modify what is already happened. i.e the outcome. 

so what's we have left with? fixing the equation on the left hand side.

 

1) I wanted a cure, fix to myself of being depressed

 

you had to work on this. several points:

a) Is this even true? i.e you are depressed?
b) Is what you have expected reliable? from that therapist?
c) Does this absolutely mean every therapist will give you the same output?

d) Can you be depressed forever?

etc etc.

The psychologist usually will bond with the patient, so there is no specialist for everyone, just bond with him/her or find another. Maybe the specialist you went to don't match with your inside vibe.

You’re self discovering, turning the awareness that you are, into itself, to know yourself. 

Don’t blame therapists, which YOU asked to help you do this. 

Just appreciate the help man.

Then, there is no longer a “you” pretending some “separate entity” is “causing” “your” “depression”.

Do you see? What you’re calling “depression”, is your own story you’re telling! 

TELL ANOTHER ONE. 

ONE ALIGNED WITH FEELINGS.

AN HONEST ONE.
