The first day he asked a few questions, then he helped me create a "safe place" in my mind. Never did that before. The last 2 weeks he asked a LOT of questions...and when I stumbled with answers he reminded me of the safe place and said he didn't want to push me, he was just trying to get to know me. They weren't trauma questions...just basic things like what situations make me anxious...etc. My biggest issue is not being able to express myself.

Today he started with a "treatment plan"....he actually wrote a few things down and asked me if I agreed, then I signed it. Weird. The other thing is he accepted my current coping mechanisms....things the other T's shunned (but they never gave me replacement things). He actually complimented me and told me I was resourceful.

I don't know...it's different. I'm afraid to hope. It's hard to trust. I kind of like him though. Weird...really weird.
