I was also going to suggest phone sessions. Since you like your T so much, maybe you could do some work on the phone, and see him less often. Maybe it's worth fixing your car so you can go. Two hours one way is a lot, though, especially in winter.
I'm sorry I don't have any good answers for you. I'm racking my brain, though! 
For what it's worth, I know I've said this before, but maybe not to you since you're new here, I NEVER thought I'd be able to quit my T who I saw for over 5 years. But I did, and new T is so much more what I need than my other T. Can your T recommend someone he thinks you'll fit with? Or did he recommend the temp one?
I'm glad you ended up with cousins you like for Thanksgiving! I'm also glad you found this place too!!  |
My T doesn't know any therapists here in my new town anymore, but he did warn be about seeing a certain Pdoc who gets repeatedly bad reviews
You are right: I'm not too keen on wasting more precious time with this T.
Red flags: Didn't listen. Didn't answer questions about privacy and danced around the privacy topic. Thought he knew the answer so easily when it is very complicated. Wrote down a bunch of stuff that WAS NOT what I said. L O S E R. LOSER. LOSER. No way- no more of this douchebag!
The one who recommended the Temp T was my work's EAP (Employee Assistance Program). They don't know me from squat, they just said he's a guy, he is in our EAP program, and has ADHD listed as one of his specialties. In truth the guy is probably geared more toward children with ADHD from what I gathered from my experience with him (Lego's Temp T, RALLY?
) He promptly told me I could not play with them (Holy BeGEEZUZ, like I'd really want to?? Come on!
Get real dude! He was like talking to one of those dolls where you pull the cord to make it speak!
No, only my T will do for now. He is the only one who knows me and what I've been through. I was getting somewhere before I had to move, you know, connecting and stuff.
Then I moved to a land that feels far, far away...
And here I am, trapped. Interesting dilemma.
