I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

thank you bug. i'm not sure if it's finished. i haven't decided yet.
i don't know if i'm feeling any better. i think i've just put it out of my thoughts for now, retreating and distancing myself. it's what i do, i guess. i didn't get a lot of sleep because i was up late continuing this battle. and i overslept this morning and was late to work because of it.
while we're on a misery kick (and i promise i'll get out of it soon), i really want to deck my supervisor right now. we had a case presentation this morning, and afterwards talked about how our meetings were going and if we were getting our needs met. i spoke up and said that for me personally, i wanted the structure to change slightly when i give a case presentation because i need help with conceptualizing my clients from my theoretical orientation better. and i didn't feel my training needs were being met on that aspect. so i asked for that additional piece to enhance my training so i can improve my skills. and you know what my supervisor said to me? in front of the entire group, he told me that i was limiting him by asking for that.
i don't even know what to say to something like that. after calming down, i finally stated that when i present a case, it's for my benefit, to help me, NOT him, and i didn't think it was unreasonable to request assistance in that aspect of training. and he still completely ignored my requests.
i'm so [censored] fed up with this place.

Ugh...that does completely suck. More hugs for the pounce
I assume you are in something similar to a post-doc, but for your profession. This is a time for you to learn new concepts and to improve upon those that you already know. Your supervisor should be willing to help you with that, not hinder your learning, especially being a psychologist himself. He should know that not everyone learns the same things in the same way.
I, too, hate people that ask for suggestions to make something better and then just poo-poo what you suggest. Luckily, my supervisors here are nice, it's just my co-workers that are the idiots. I guess we all have to deal with them somehow.
Here's to better jobs and better places

times 1,000,000 and more!Sorry to hear your supervisor's being a putz again. Good for you, though, to recognize what *you* need. Is there anyone else you can talk to...discuss your development and training with?
Hang in there, pounce!!

I think the universe keeps dealing you low cards because she knows you're the only person strong enough to deal with it.
Just one hug... but a good one.
It's not the quantity, but the QUALITY.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

can someone just kick me? i mean really. just go ahead and kick me cause then at least it'll all seem to fall into place. i can literally say i've been kicked while i'm down.
i just want to scream and hit something (something, not someone, though my supervisor is tempting)
i wish there was someone i could talk to about my situation, but i can't. if i thought it would make any difference, i'd confront him myself about it, but i KNOW that i'll get graded down and have a miserable six months until i leave. and i'd talk to the director of the program, but i'm pretty sure she'd back him up. i'm still debating on that one though. and the rest of the staff have no power or weight in my situation, so there's no point in talking to them. and my school certainly can't do anything, so there's no point in asking them. i'm stuck. that's the crap part of this situation. i'm a very proactive person, i'll stand up for myself, i'll speak my needs, but there's only so much i can do. and i'm at the end of that list. i'm stuck. and it really [censored] sucks.

ok continuing to rant cause i'm on a roll and i don't have therapy for another week....
this is supposed to be the year where i really shape who i am as a therapist. i mean, it's not the end all be all, but this is my chance to get experience, to get supervision, to get training. after this, i'm pretty much on my own. i've got post-doc where i'll still be supervised but there will not be a training element to it. and i can go to continuing ed classes, but that takes time and money, and isn't nearly as effective as having it right here, the whole year, and being supervised at the same time to ensure i'm doing it right, to hone my skills, to put it into practice with feedback on how i'm doing. and i'm not getting that. which, if i wanted to be pessimistic, means i'm screwed and will never become a good therapist. not realistically, i know that's not the case. but dammit, i know i could be getting so much more, and learning it so much quicker, and be doing a better job, and have better skills to enhance my prospects for post-docs and jobs, and keep me from studying as hard and learning as much for licensing. AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE WRITING MY LETTERS OF REC!!!!!!!!!!!! i am sooooo pissed off and frustrated right now. why do i keep getting the short end of the stick? why the hell do i have to bust my ass 50 times harder than anyone else just to get there only because of unfortunate circumstances in my life?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
