I never thought I would want to change T. But recently my regular T pat had to go out for hip replacement surgery and she asked if we would mind seeing Karen. Karen is not unknown to us. She was the one who actually refered us to Pat almost 4 years ago. At that time Karen was working at the rehab we were in and Pat was a working in private practice. We were very sad to leave Karen but knew she had to say good bye because she was not a family therepist. It wasnt untill recently when we began seeing Karen again as a temp T that we realized there was a hole left when we began seeing Pat. Dont get me worng I love Pat and she is great but for some unknown reason there has always been a hole. One I did not realize till now. Now Karen told us that Pat will be coming back in about at week or so and that we have a choice to make. Continue seeing Karen who now is a family therp. or return to seeing Pat. We have only been seeing Karen for about a month or so but the idea of leaving her really bugs me on a level I can not explane. Part of me says we should go back to Pat after all she has been there for almost 4 years. But part of me says stay with Karen and work on a level that is different then that of Pat. I am looking for some insight here on what to do. My AA Sponser wants me to find a T who deals with DID but I am not upto that. I have a level of comfort in dealing with these two ladies and dont want to start all over again with someone I dont know just because they deal with DID. Both of these ladies know that I am DID and Karen suspected it from when she worked with us at the rehab and that is why she refered me to Pat. I must say that I like the fact that Karen has met my family when we did family sesions at the rehab and I like that. All Pat knows is what I have told her and to be honest I am not sure what that is.

Please help I need some input here.

Thanks Diana host of the Clan
