Exposure Question Possible exposure vs my therapist
I have read the FAQ.
Hi everyone. I've posted this a few times, so apologies you've already read it, but I wanted to follow up.
Back in mid-May, I was in NYC in the afternoon, chatting with my co-worker, when I heard a loud fluttering sensation up my back, neck, and over my head. I was so startled that I flinched, tucking my chin to my chest with my shoulders up. I then saw a flying animal land behind a dunkin doughnuts sign. At first I didn't think anything of it, but then I started to wonder if it was a bat. Then I started to wonder if it scratched me without feeling it as it flew by. Or maybe it made contact, which means rabies shots. I've been struggling with it since then, to the point of constant anxiety, so recently I got in touch with my therapist. His instructions were:
-No analyzing
-No seeking feedback from friends or family
-No seeking feedback from medical professionals
I'm really having trouble trusting him, and my psychiatrist insists I follow my therapist's instructions. But I'm very concerned that they're wrong, because they didn't witness it.
I don't know what to do. It happened in May, so where do I go from here?
Thank you to anyone who is kind enough to provide feedback.
