but if you know what works for you, pachy, wouldn't it be good for you to take charge of your own healing? it's taken me a long time to be able to speak up about what does and doesn't work for me, but now that i'm better able to do it (6 or so therapists down the track ) it makes a HUGE difference in how fast im able to move forward.
even just simple things like i need austin-t to ask me what i want to talk about first, rather than him jumping in and wanting to follow up from the last session. and not doing a MMSE on me every time .
some therapists (like my old-t) were really averse to me telling them how i wanted things to be done, but looking back it probably just means we weren't a good fit.
austin-t still brings himself to my therapy sessions - he provides insight and encouragement and all those other therapist things i need - but within a framework that i know is more helpful to me than the one he typically uses.
