Okay...so there's something that I've been giving a lot of thought to, and I want to get your advice on it.

My college offers free, short-term psychological services on campus. My SI is starting to get out of control, and I need to work on getting it back under control. I'm still working with my T, and things are still going great, I think. The thing is...we've got SO much **** to work on, we can't focus the amount of attention that I need on SI. So I was thinking about going in for some short-term therapy on campus just to help me with my SI.

So my question is can I see my regular T AND a campus T as well? I'm DEFINITELY staying with my regular T for sure...the other is optional. I just feel like it might be a good thing to have a T on campus with whom I can work on this one specific issue that is at hand. I can't imagine going anywhere else with the possible new T other than SI, because most everything else is extremely personal, and I only want to work on that stuff with my current T. I expect T and I will still focus on SI some, but there are other issues at hand as well.

I feel like I'm betraying my T by even thinking about seeing someone else at the same time. I just feel like I need to focus on SI regularly for a short-term bit, but with all of the other issues I have going on, we simply can't do that with regular T. Also, I know there's a group on campus led by a T who specializes with SI, and you have to be referred by an on-campus T, so that's another reason that I'm considering this. Do you think T would be mad at me if she found out?

Also, as some of you know, I'm switching to every other week soon, and I think having the on-campus T would help me cope with that as well...how messed up is seeing a T to cope with the absence of another T? Also, I'm worried about getting attached to another T. I'm not worried about losing my attachment with current T, because nobody knows me like she does, and nobody will. Nobody can touch her, because we've been working together over a year, and nobody can establish the connection with me that we have.

So what do you all think? Again, I am NOT even considering stopping work with my other T...I can't even fathom the thought of that. I just think it would be helpful to have someone that I can focus only on SI with. I just feel bad about it.
