In reply to I feel a wee bit uncomfortable, posted by Dinah on January 16, 2004, at 20:16:43
do you think being uncomfortable is related more to the issue of dealing with a second therapist rather then her sex? I've posted before about having 2 therps- my male pdoc and female psych. he wanted me to have someone closer for emergencies (and of course I had to develop a relationship with her first). I really found that they complement each other- she brings her history to therapy (which is not far from mine), while my pdoc fills other needs. I always refer to it as being reparented. it takes a special shrink who is willing to share therapy, I tried having a local shrink (male) along with mine that lives 100 miles away and it was a clash of egos. I guess i really appreciate having a woman's view of my problems. I think if you just try to get comfortable with your EMDR therp, you may be presently surprised.
take care, judy
