@TortueDesBois

@Laura
Rumination and Recall again and again as we are passed from pillar to post with councellors and therapists who all seem to do the same thing, starting at the beginning which doesnt really help people at all except having to recall trauma's and bad things over and over again. I just wish the entire system would stop doing this and pass information between all councellings and support services like the hospitals do by logging whats been done, covered and given but especially what core issues a person has and their problems to reduce the time having to re-explain things all the time.
@An1mal the day that when my conversations with a listener will be shared to an other. i will quit 7cups.
@TortueDesBois I think they didn't mean it that way. Of course every information is confidential.
I think what they meant was, in case you're switching to another new therapist after your previous therapist left for some reason. It might feel a bit tedious to some members if they have to repeat again their whole life story to someone and to have to repeat again what the previous therapist did or do. To be honest if this were to work like a real therapy session with a licensed therapist this is in fact, an issue that needs to be solved.
@TortueDesBois
I mentioned councellors and therapists in the post, not listeners or 7 cups
@An1mal
It might be an idea to use the link for topics.
@An1mal
I agree completely. This is one of the reasons I quit going to therapy and started my own healing path (please don't think I'm recommending that to others--I just state it to sympathize). It just got too painful (and expensive) to rehash the same things over-and-over. It would seem as if you should be able to sign a release and one therapist could transfer information to the other.
@An1mal
If it helps at all to limit re-verbalizing it each time the therapist(s) may be willing to read what you've written down about each thing that requires worked on by more than one session. This can help them see a fuller picture of your situation and you can say in it what you've already resolved to your satisfaction so they don't try to waste time elaborating on something that no longer needs worked on. That way too it may ease nerves about forgetting something during an appointment. Seeing the words you've written yourself may provide some benefit to you realizing something about your reactions or responses to feelings that you hadn't before too.
I think some countries may have laws allowing patients of mental health professionals to obtain any applicable records but I'm not sure how much of that being in depth stories would be kept on file and not left to the therapist's memory.
