Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician. Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern having a first psychological consultation that leaves you feeling worse, especially while coping with two painful losses, can be very distressing. Feeling rejected or unsupported by a therapist can intensify emotional pain rather than relieve it.
â
Advices
⢠It is okay to acknowledge that this experience was not helpful and that you deserve support that feels safe and understanding
⢠Consider pausing therapy with this provider and seeking a psychologist or counselor who specializes in grief or trauma
⢠Talk to a trusted friend or family member about your feelings in the meantime to avoid internalizing the distress
What to Monitor
⢠Notice worsening mood, increased sadness, or feelings of hopelessness
⢠Watch for changes in sleep, appetite, or energy that affect daily functioning
⢠Any thoughts of self-harm or inability to cope with daily life
Management
You may try gentle coping strategies such as journaling, breathing exercises, or short walks to manage immediate stress. Avoid trying to push through this trauma alone. Choosing a qualified therapist with experience in grief and trauma can make a meaningful difference.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Persistent thoughts of self-harm or harming others
⢠Severe anxiety or panic attacks that interfere with daily life
⢠Inability to carry out basic self-care or routine activities
Every patient situation is unique. For safe and effective psychological support, it is important to seek a trained professional who understands grief and trauma.
