RESPECT GOES BOTH WAYS. β¨οΈ
Yesterday, I went to a new Psychiatrist.
Loved her, patiently listening to everything I said. Never interrupted me. She just listened. And talked whenever I finished every word I said. π
It feels good. Really good. The lady staff was accommodating, the doctor's husband was really kind and patient to us, explains very well and a good listener too. Indeed, a safe space for everyone.
I've been under doctor's orders for almost 5 years now. Since 2021, I never stopped seeing one. But never would I've thought that you can also be triggered by someone whom you thought was your safe space and would understand you, of all people.
Respect goes both ways.
I respect you, you respect me.
I say kind words to you, I expect you to do the same.
I listen to you, you listen to me.
TO EVERYONE IN THE FIELD OF MENTAL HEALTH, PATIENCE IS VERY MUCH NEEDED, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL (PSYCHOLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST)
Do not disrespect us just because we are just your patients.
I think Im kind, hehe but I have limits too. π
Choose your doctors wisely! It's important to really have a connection, respect and understanding both sides. π»
