{{{ Elysium and her T }}}

I need to clarify my response. I was referring to the actual style of therapy, meaning I would run from the process not from T. If someone treated me like Linehan outlines treatment in her book, I would've walked out!

I was reading her "strategies" and it just seems like a bunch of manipulation to me. Like where it says, T oscillates intensity of emotions or T uses silence or T weaves a web. That crap is game-playing in my eyes.

Does that mean everything they say, everything they do is planned out instead of just being genuine caring people? Is the therapeutic relationship a big fat scam? ARGH! You can call it fear cuz it is!!

Anyway, it wasn't about your T. I'm glad she saved you!
