Why Do I Want Attention So Badly? Ask Kati Anything! ep.83 | Kati Morton podcast

00:00:00 Intro to Ask Kati Anything! the Kati Morton podcast ep.83

Audience Questions
00:01:16
1. Can you give us an overview of what a therapist does vs a psychologist? What’s the difference between therapy and psychotherapy? Would someone who struggles in all different areas benefit from seeing a psychologist rather than a therapist? For example, if someone has autism, C-PTSD, OCD, and an eating disorder, would a therapist be able to help them...

00:14:01
2. If you (as a therapist) have seen a client for a long time, do you notice if he or she feels sadder in a therapy session than usual?

00:17:45
3. What is the first thing that goes through your head (a therapist’s head) when a client starts to cry? (COMMENT: Or has a panic attack or starts dissociating badly (as in can not move, see or talk) in session?

00:30:16
4. I hope you’re having a great week! I got sick a while ago and was in the hospital for a few weeks. Ever since then, I’ve been missing and craving the kindness and attention I received from nurses and doctors while there. I’ve never experienced anything like this (I have social anxiety and usually don’t want any attention at all)...

00:40:16
5. How can I stop myself from being annoyed by little things out of my control? Often, I get upset about unreasonable stuff like people talking in a car, waking up 15 mins late even when I can afford to, shops not having what I want, etc. And I've been trying not to blast off, but it results in me upsetting myself more. My therapist told me I seem to struggle with...

00:55:34
6. Did you have a favourite patient you were seeing? I guess you´re not supposed to have favourites but I imagine it's hard not to like some patients more than others. Also I want my therapist to like me the most and I wish she would tell me I'm her favourite. That I am more important to her than her other patients and she thinks of me when we don't have sessions....

01:02:35
7. A little while ago as I was crying on the floor I just completely lost my ability to feel any emotions for about 15 hours where it eventually slowly came back. It felt like losing a sense and I’m really confused by it and didn’t like it. Do you know what may have happened that caused this to happen?

01:07:40
8. I have a difficult relationship with food. It’s almost impossible for me to eat if I am with people. I make it look like I eat most of the time. If there is absolutely no getting around it, then I can force myself, just so there isn’t a scene but it makes me really uncomfortable, and I find myself self-harming after. The thing is I’m not the typical body size of someone who would...

01:12:29
9. I hope you have a wonderful day. My question is; how can I notice when my eating disorder thoughts are trying to sneak in on me again? I find that my eating disorder voice is difficult to distinguish from me and my other thoughts and therefore I do not notice the signs until my therapist eventually notices them for me. I hope it makes sense...
