Soooooo started a new therapist last week.
I changed from my last one who was a "gender" therapist.
She was super validating... Like uncomfortably so.
And she was encouraging me to go to the endo doctor so fast,
It wasn't really helpful for me.
My new therapist seems promising,
Does anyone have any experience with "British Object Relation Theory", a psychoanalysis style?
That's the style my new therapist says he uses.
Just wondering if anyone has had any productive experience with it...
Thanks ya'll!
Found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_relations_theory
Object relations theory in psychoanalytic psychology is the process of developing a psyche in relation to others in the environment during childhood. Based on psychodynamic theory, the object relations theory suggests that the way people relate to others and situations in their adult lives is shaped by family experiences during infancy. For example, an adult who experienced neglect or abuse in infancy would expect similar behavior from others who remind them of the neglectful or abusive person from their past (often a parent). These images of people and events turn into Objects in the subconscious that the person carries into adulthood, and they are used by the subconscious to predict people's behavior in their social relationships and interactions.

Not sure what to make of it to be honest.
