Re: 2 Therapists At Same Time

This sounds like a recipe for more pain and anguish. I'm seeing a therapist in part to recover from the first one. Also, it's due to a complex family situation that involves several serious physical diseases as well as serious mental illness.

T's do use their patients and mine (first) admitted that I would hate her some day when I realized what she did to me. I was deeply attached to her and hurt at the same time. The end result was a loss of self confidence surrounded by confusion and way too much focus on therapy and not enough with getting on getting on with my life. Frankly, a professional friend had (a few years earlier) done far more for me in terms of "raising me up" to new heights I did not know were possible. The T did the opposite.

Therapy is a contrived situation at best.

My first T had serious issues herself (I think all T's do) and in order to control me constantly harped at me about childhood experiences (eventually that has to be left behind) and often wouldn't let me even finish a sentence or a thought. She missed appts - was snide - the current one is too sometimes.

I was going through a personal family situation that was overwhelming and her emotional abuse was not helpful. I don't believe this bull about "working through" something with a T - I find they either want to control for their own satisfaction or they have no interest. That's the big reason why I saw two T's at the same time. I hardly knew which way was up emotionally. I guess this is a little bit of a muddled trigger for me (strictly me - not the responsibility of anyone else on this thread) and I'm reacting accordingly but right now I would say "lose her" because it doesn't sound like your best interests are truly reflected. Nonetheless, you'll have to find your own way and fulfill your own needs.
