Last month my T told me that she was ending her practice and that I needed to start looking for a new T. Shortly thereafter I spent ten days in a psych hospital. Honestly, I think I was well on my way to the hospital before she told me she was retiring, but I don't think that news was helpful.
Anyway, I've begun my search and will be meeting with two potential therapists this week, one tomorrow and one on Friday. It's been an interesting search as I've spoken to some therapists who don't want to deal with a case such as mine. From "I usually work with short-term cases" to "I don't think I'm equipped to deal with a patient with such a constellation of symptoms".
Honestly, I'm glad they're up front. I'm glad too that I'm finding some who actually meet with me. I'm wondering though, what questions some of you might consider asking a potential T. I am compiling my own list, and am just looking for advice.Thanks,
Dee.
