Don’t MOST or even ALL Therapists/Counselors look to rule out and/or INCLUDE PHYSICAL reasons for depression, irritability, weight gain, etc?

I know when I started counseling YEARS ago and I mean decades ago....they sent me off for a physcial to get blood work to check for thyroid and stuff like that.

Sue

In the UK almost all counsellors and psychotherapists

fund their own training, therapy and supervision

/////////////////

They do in the US too. I manage a psychology practice and we actually bring on post doctoral students for their post doc internships-the pay is quite minimal...we also offer flat out supervision for a fee...

a good question. When I started with this lady I see now, I told her that I needed to see her because of my medical problem. She told me she didn't know anything about it...but I figured she'd be VERY interested since that is kind of her job. I've tried to show her my lab work, and she doesn't seem all that interested in it. The regular phsycotherapists like her...aren't medical doctors so...apparently that is their out. WELL..it turns out that not only is she not interested in learning about it...she seems resistant to anything I say about it. She keeps trying to change the subject..and keeps asking me what my future plans are. THAT's actually the most annoying question since I have no future if I'm not well. SHE says I should be "open" to recognizing that as a possiblity and its her job to tell me that... If she doesn't know about it and is

unwilling to learn...then why think your patient won't recover...and why try to plant that in the patient's head? Of course if I had a patient telling me some wild story about a bizzarre debilitating illness, I would want to know if they had that disease to begin with. This one doesn't beleive me...and yet has no reason to think I'm lying because she has never researched it herself. ~E:) On 8/10/06 4:05 PM, "Willyorca" <willyorca (AT) comcast (DOT) net> wrote: In the UK almost all counsellors and psychotherapistsfund their own training, therapy and supervision/////////////////They do in the US

Most psychotherapists/counsellors certainly do not

have medical training. Most therapists would want to

know what medical condition has been diagnosed and

what medication a client is taking, in case of

overdose etc. To know the psychological impact of

each medical condition is impossible; each person is

impacted in different ways.

I meet once a month with friends who are all

practising counsellors. All of them suggested that my

illness was to do with past issues and current ways of

handling stressful situations. One of those friends

who also teaches on counselling courses had RAI and

now takes thyroxine. She is quite happy on a fairly

low dose and has never had unpleasant symptoms. Even

she couldn't empathise with my situation.

I do believe that as long as mainstream medicine

denies the reality of hypothyroid experience for many

of us, there is no chance of a 'trickle down' of

knowledge to the therapists.

Of significance also is the theoretical stance of the

therapist. Each 'school' takes a different approach

which may or may not suit the client. Do you want

someone to 'just listen' or maybe you need structure

and strategies for coping. If you want a healing

relationship then don't go to an analyst etc.

I decided some time ago that therapy has nothing to

offer an undertreated HypoT. However, coincidentally,

this evening I was reading posts on another group and

there was one from a woman who is just completing her

counselling training requesting case histories from

members so that she might educate her colleagues.

Maybe there is hope.

Sigh I could so go into this, I would just like to say, unfortunately

they have gotten to the point where if you even show any amt of

emotional issues (crying in the doctor office) etc. You are ultimately

diagnosed with depression. For10 years if not more I was diagnossed as

" severe depression " with a few other diagnosis and 10 years later I said

to my psych why if I have this severe depression etc arent any of the

meds working all they are doing is making me numb and fat. You know his

response was this. Deana, you do not have chemical imbalance. You are an

extremely Highly Sensitive Person . With Situational Depression and

Situational Anxiety. We all once we are saved recieve gifts from God, I

was blessed (sometimes a curse) with the gift of empathy. I can feel

peoples pain, happiness, etc, people that I dont even know. It got to

the point where I felt others emotions more then my own and these psychs

thought it their " best interest " to medicate. Thank the Lord I am off

ALL of those medications now. Don't misread me, their are people with

chemical imbalance that may need them. I unfortunately was one of 80%

percent diagnosed with depression that really dont have chemical imbalance.

anyway i would also like to add, when i put myself in the hospital last

year, i found out from getting copies of my record that they tested my

tsh the first night i was in (in the psych ward) my TSH was 13. 57 and I

was armour then, which wasn't working (i think i was in what topper

calles thyroid storm) which i didnt know about then, I also found out...

that I was severely dehydrated. (I was nursing at the time and lost 50

lbs the first few months) Apparantly I was not eating enough to keep me

sustained and my child. I had never nursed before, and everything I read

on nursing never once said the importance over and over again of

drinking liquids almost hourly and eating as if you were pregnant. I

unfortunately had to abrubtly stop nursing because they started me on

all kinds of psych meds. My son and I suffered a horrible sepperation

that could have been spared had PHYSICAL issues been treated first, and

me sent home. Let me add it also helps to have a personal relationship

with Jesus. I am not trying to push my religion here I understand this

is nto a christian based group but I am a christian and would like to

thank my Heavenly Father that I am now psych med free and the

experiences have brought me and my family closer to Him.

Best regards and Love

Hi Deana & ,

I missed your post so I am glad that didn't but my reading this

morning seems to say it all from Gen: 45: 3-8. Stories of ph

always seem to impact my life a lot and here it is about how bad

things are allowed by the Father to bring us to a place of His

choosing for such a time as this. Nothing is out of His control

even when we sream and squirm at the pressure. It takes lots of

pressure to make a diamond and that is what we are, in the making,

and He sees the end result when we don't and all that we experience

is going to make us better. I am always teased about being a

Barnabus, a comforter/empathic, so I know how you feel for others.

In Him
