I talked to the expressive arts T, a social worker, who does internal family systems therapy. She sounds so good too!! I asked if she had experience treating BPD and she said she doesn't like diagnoses. She does list PTSD as one of her strengths. She talked about parts, and specifically mentioned a 6 year old child. I told her that something happened to me when I was 6! So, if I see her I'll for sure get a chance to let my child part have its say! She is also learning EMDR.

Both of these prospective Ts are providers on my insurance plan. They are different, but sound equally interested in me and caring. The other one, a psychologist, has testimonials on her website. Her presentation seems a bit "too" polished, and that may intimidate me, but on the phone she sounded warm and not intimidating at all.

So, I will have to see how I feel when I meet each one. This is getting kind of exciting for me. I am almost glad I had that session with my T because it was a turning point. She gave me permission to see someone else. It was the first time she admitted that she hadn't been able to help me with the attachment issue. I've been so reluctant to let go of her even though many people have been telling me that she can't help me any more. This too, is a learning experience for me.
