Psychologist on monday...

[dextersaurus]

So, due to my crash, and the non-sleeping and nightmares and aggressiveness and all that jazz, the third party insurers offered for me to see a psychologist when my solicitor started threatening them with court.

So i now have an appointment to go see someone on monday...

Now i've never been to one before, so what can i expect?

Cheers

I grew up with a psychologist by my side, (i was a troubled child).

They are strange people very calm, dull and they ask you how you feel about everything.

They're not that bad though so dont worry about it at all.

Good luck and try not to seem too mental you might just leave in a looney van.

He mentioned some form of CBT i think, i suppose i'll just wee when i get there eh.

I got smacked side-on by a car and thrown about 30 odd feet. hurt quite a bit and i can't remember the actual impact... tried to walk and stuff but couldn't.
wasn't very nice, sitting in the back of an ambulance feeling like i was about to pass out and not being able to move my right arm or leg....

So yeah, wasn't too serious but it's the first time i'd ever been like that.

They'll probably prefer it if you wee before you get there.

CBT is boring.

[MarJay]

Well, CBT is either Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or Cock and Ball Torture.

We'll soon find out I guess!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[dextersaurus]

What can i expect form CBT?

Both kinds, that is.
the second sounds rather appealing.

stay calm and be positive.

Remember, dont touch your willy, or they will think you are suffering from the effects of a troubled childhood

Behavioural psychologist I saw just kept asking what I thought and how I felt about stuff. Eh.. An idea...

Him : What happened?

You : I crashed

Him : What did you think when it happened?

You : Bugger...

Him : How did that make you feel?

You : Piffed off...


Not quite accurate bit more involved than that, but the behavioural ones I met just kept asking what I thought then how I felt...

Like has already been said mate, they will just talk about what you want to talk about. They will ask you questions just answer them truthfully and try not to think too hard about it. Also don't be worried to talk about something or give an answer that you think may make them think your nuts/fucked up/or gay. If it's the answer to the question then just say it.

Also have fun mate, it's a free Pyschologist so lap it up.

For a couple of months after my accident I had a rolling 4-day memory. On a Thursday I could remember back to Monday, but on the Friday I could only remember to Tuesday. The nurses arranged for a psychologist to come and check for any signs of mild brain damage etc. After a load of banile questions asking me about what day it was and what floor I was on, I finally told him to fuck off when he tugged on his ear and said: "What's this?". It's your fucking ear mate.

Twitch a lot and tell him/her you have trouble getting an erection.

Try not to fail the assessment, might mean a bigger compo payment but also means your putting your licence at risk!

Cock and ball torture In all honesty it will be best not to look at this at work or in front of your mom or kids.

I have no license to lose :o

But yeah, i'm not THAT psycho.

Just the recurrent nightmares, not being able to sleep, constant aggressiveness and lack of my umm... want... to... fuck



Oh, and the stress i'm having to cope with due to college/uni and moving out.

How fun.

Fair enough, at 18 life of course is very stressful

Meh, it's been like this since november, for a month i couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't walk and couldn't wank.

Was absolute murder. managed half a meal a day and spewed it back up anyway most of the time. i lived on water pretty much.

How fun.
