Ask the Psychologist!
Our new resident Consulting Psychologist now has his own regular column: Ask the Psychologist. If you’re looking for feedback on a relationship, worried about a friend or family member, or just curious about something you’ve always wanted to ask a psychologist, Dr Carver is here to listen and offer you some thoughts.
He’s been a regular contributor on CounsellingResource.com for more than a year now, and the discussion threads for his articles on Loving an Abuser and Dating a Loser now hold hundreds of comments and personal replies. Finally, we’ve decided to make it official, and Dr Carver is all set up with his own section where he can field questions about all things psychological.
We’re now inviting questions for Dr Carver, and a selection of the questions we receive — together with Dr Carver’s personal replies — will be published in the new section starting Monday, 21 May.
So if you’d like to learn more about Dr Carver, or ask him a psychology question, just visit the new Ask the Psychologist section, where you can get started!
Editor’s Note: To help ensure that reader questions go to Dr Carver rather than to this blog post, I have now closed the comments section for this announcement. Please use the Ask the Psychologist section for submitting questions to Dr Carver.

I see a psychologist for childhood abuse, alot of times in my session I just sit there, unable to talk. How does this help me, and how does my therapist know when to talk and when not to????? Should I continue my sessions, I do get help from them, but sometimes it is so painfull I don’t want to say anything, I curl up and stay silent.

Hi Valerie,
If I could just ask you to drop by the Ask the Psychologist section, there’s a page there for submitting questions directly to Dr Carver — if you could submit it directly to him, then we can be sure he gets to see it!
My own personal view is that your sense of its being too painful to talk is itself worth listening to: the feelings you are experiencing right then and there are important, and your psychologist may be able to provide a safe environment in which you can explore and reflect on what you are experiencing right then.
All the best,
Greg

I have somewhat of an embarrasing question to ask so I hope this is the place to do it. Ever since I could remember I would sneeze whenever I was turned on or thinking about having sex. I am now 39 years old and I have been married for 9 years. When I get in the mood my wife knows it before I put “the moves” on her. “Wierd huh?” I haved looked on the net to see if I could find a link between sneezing and sex but I have found no answers. I there a link between sneezing and sex? “I hope I am not allergic to it.”
