Thorn Training/ psychosis based work
By the luck of having a doctor with a bad reputation assess me and two professionals willing to back my side, my care co backed me in my appointment today, she was late in so at the beginning my new doctor was trying to provoke a reaction in me, I'm awful at talking and communicate really badly so It looked like it was going down hill really quickly she didn't get that reaction though and then my care co arrived and talked for me better than I could have! Explained the letter and that my reasons for correcting it and complaint were very justifiable, they agreed with me! I have never been backed before.. But by the end it was obvious her opinion of me had changed just because the words came out of hers and not mine, I had a valuable advocate in my care co today.. the difference between pre conceived judgement from this doctor and looking at me for who I am now. Luck seems to be with me as my new cpn when my current care co leaves will be one who specialises in psychosis and hearing voices. My team completely overruled the assessment I am beyond relieved, I think they are now aware that I had a horrific experience and a very bad influence of a doctor whilst in camhs, I seem to be finally heard thanks to my doc who has instigated all of this even my relationship with my care co its just left it is a shame that she left as I now have a young by the book doctor, not as experienced but hopefully we'll get on even if she does hum.
On to the point though I am worried about this, seeing a specialist..or more someone who deals with people like me. I feel lucky but worried as I never considered myself in that arena.. I don't like thinking myself as ill but I know I am ill because of them. He is thorn certified.. meaning he took thorn training, it has certain approaches including cbt but i have no idea what it is, my dad knows some on it but not much and the only information on it from the Belfast University. I just wondered if anyone has worked this way or with someone who is thorn certified? I also don't know much about working on my voices etc as no-one has directly worked on it with me despite having them for four years it's always been around them so has anyone had treatment based on voices and psychosis? Or CBT for it.. Just i'm worried and would like to find some info if there is any before it takes off. Hope that's ok. Sorry about the length, I hope this makes sense. Take care everyone.
