Hello all- I know I haven't given a lot of "my story" yet. I'll try to start, forgive me if I am too vague as I am a little paranoid of being recognized (very unlikely, not like I'm famous!!)

MIGHT be a trigger for some, just a S warning...

I am a F in my late 30's but my therapy began in my teens--went horribly wrong in the beginning, lead to a S attempt. Hospitalized, a bad therapist match and I was a wreck right before entering college. Finally found a great match therapist-wise and I have been seeing him ever since. About 6 years ago, I accepted a high profile and ca-ching $ job halfway across the country. I was torn horribly but my T and I worked out phone sessions 1x week and I see him every chance I get when I fly home. Ugh, now I'm laid off here in flyover country and want to go home and resume face-to-face therapy. Neither of us is getting any younger.

My issues-depression but less so these days..Anxiety, past trauma stuff with a horrible caregiver.

Dependency issues with my T are ongoing but better. Unlike past therapists, he treats dependency as a tool, not the boogeyman. Other therapists LOVED to tell me what therapy was NOT about but failed to explain what it could do. Very grateful I found my current T.

Thanks for "listening"!
