Terrible experience with a mental nurse for a cbt refferal.
Had a pretty bad appointment yesterday with a mental health nurse who wanted to assess me for cbt, she didn’t seem to read my file, and made poor deductions which didn’t reflect me or what I said. I felt I wasn’t listened to. I was told by my psychiatrist to be out on cbt right away a month ago. But the mental nurse, she didn’t exactly tell me what was happening, and told me she would be doing talking therapy with me, i have done counselling before, and have seen a psychiatrist previously. It’s rather at this point annyoing having to repeat things i over came, but even worse to someone who wasn’t listening to me, and made some rather wrong and far fetched conclusions and unrelated questions.
I remember feeling unsure, and rather angry after leaving the appointment, and didn’t feel i could get on with my day. Not only that she wanted to assess myself and my relationships, and i honestly didn’t feel comfortable talking to them with her as she was rather blunt, intrusive and rather pressed me. I understand that some practitioners are that way, but this isn’t easy for me to open up, and i had to force myself to do that.
I wanted to phone my psychiatrist that I didn’t feel ok continuing with the person who wanted to do cbt.
Just yesterday i felt rather sick, and bed ridden.
Today i stayed home again, couldn’t leave the house, and essentially replayed traumatic memories. I felt so furious today i wanted to show my anger and wanted to throw my plate of dinner against a wall and scream.
**I’d d appreciate peoples experiences and advice, as input regarding the person who assessed me.**
