I have a few wolrds best T's. my favorites of the worlds best would be one with a rape crisis center and the one right before the one I have now. out of my history of 19 therapists these two I was with the longest. The first one had it the roughest. I was just begining the therapy process and hadn't been diagnosed as DID just yet so the poor woman not only had to kick my you know what in gear many times because I was in the frame of mind of heres the problem now fix me (not help me fix me, I wanted to be fixed but not have anything to do with the work to get there) but she had to deal with the effects of DID without knowing that I had it. and then be the first therapist on board when I started having flashbacks but didn't have the words or understanding of what was happening to me to tell her. No matter what got thrown her way (not literally as in objects that came later with my second choice) she would pull her shoulders back and meet the challenges 100%. I remember one time one of my abusers was following me in his vehicle (I was walking) She saw I was upset and pulled over, opened the passenger side door for me to get in. once inside she asked what was wrong and I told her. Dispite the fact that she was supposed to be getting the mail and then right back to the office she turned that car around and together we went looking for my abuser because he had taken off and we were going to get his license number and report him for drunk driving so that he would be kept away from me for a bit. And that wasn't the only time she went above and beyond the call of duty for me. My second choice was the therapist that helped me with most of my DID work. She gets a table thrown at her literally and comes back ready to get to work again. so amazing. when that happened I wanted to quit, but she wouldn't let me. I came up with so many off the wall ideas and instead of blowing them off she joined right in. No matter what was going on for me She was right there ready with open arms. Without her I wouldn't have made any headway for I'd still be sitting in fear of the foot long label and hospitals to do anything. When I was diagnosed with cancer she was right there in that hospital waiting room both going into my endoscopies and colonoscopy and coming out from them. She is an amazing person.
