Hey,
I hadn't thought about calling around. That is an idea. I think you made a good point about checking area of expertise, I think that could be where my problem is. I am going to attempt to discuss it in therapy, only it isn't until late next week. I am just going to say point blank, "this is what I want to discuss and I need your help with it". If I don't get a interested attentive response back I quit. But I will check out other places. I feel better knowing that my T isn't especially high in cost- $100. Still alot though.
Hopefully I can do what I planned. I guess initially I hadn't thought about the fact that a therapist is such a personal choice, to me it was just a T and that is it. Like a T is a T is a T. But that isn't the way it works for sure! It seems people really work to find a perfect match, I didn't. I took the first I found. Im hoping I can work it out, because it is so draining.
just curious, have you ever questioned whether therapy is more of a nusence/complication than a help? that is sort of where I been recently.
> Hey ya :) I am so so but thank you ...On the T issue I do kinda get the feeling you arent into this T...BUT you can for free call clinics and inquire about issues like phone calls what their area of expertise is ....and get a feel for what that T is basically about.....Shop at tad by phone or online ...You may really benefir from the right T...I hope you do not totally give up don't let one missmatch spoil the whole thing for you...and you are welcome...T prices vary on their education , if a clinic or not, where in country and state...greedy hahaha j/j and so much ....most seem to be around 125 an hour around here.

> >
> > I don't self harm, but at the times when i feel really bad i would like to know that my T cares, you know? Like ask me after session if i am ok if it has beeen tough or deemphasize the initial rules. I don't think i would ever call if i was anxious because it feels weird to do for me but that isn't what is important it is the feeling your T is suposed to give you that they do care. did that make any sense? My T is definatly not my ideal tehrapist, at my next appointmetn i am going to say something, I just haven't figured out what yet. I need to be very subtle about it becaseu i don't think i can be that direct with my T :(. OMG! this is a hard one, Actually I would like to ask if my T is supervised but how??
