I do see what you're saying. My concern though is that I am really in need of "real" counseling right now (meaning counseling where I can be open about everything) and I dont believe it'd be good for me to be seeing 2 different therapists at the same time, even if 1 was only for brief, solution-focused work on one specific problem. I dont think my current therapist (who I have been seeing for about a year) would agree with me doing that either, but that is not what is making my decision. I dont feel comfortable lying to anyone, and I would have to in order to receive services there. For instance, they always ask in the intake sessions whether you have made a suicide attempt in the past and whether you ever feel suicidal now. Yes to both for me, but a yes to either leads to an automatic referral. See what I mean? And yes, it is possible to lie about that and leave that stuff for my regular therapist, but having 2 would just be too difficult. I'm sorry if that sounds crazy or limiting to you. I really feel like not lying and sticking with 1 therapist is the best for me though, at least right now.
