Granite...you are not horrible. You're just really, really stuck, and my heart goes out to you. Like I have said before, you deserve to be heard, feel safe and get better.

I think it's really sad that so many people encourage you to get another T based on your interpretations of what happened, which could be complete misinterpretations.

Ugh...Granite has been going thru this with her T for a long time. It's not a one time event...it is bunch of events cumulative to this one point. Whether T is good or bad doesn't matter, what matters is that Granite feels unsafe and unstable and cannot communicate that with this particular T. We have watched the struggle and ached for her. BTW...if it wasn't for finding a T who would accept my weekly email and discuss it at the session, I would have never gotten to a talking place. It took me years to find an expert at helping people who freeze up and cannot express themselves.

There are a lot of crappy T's...believe me I hit the jackpot on that one. I had one for 2 years who thought all my issues were that I was demon possessed. My inability to talk left me just listening week after week. Feeling more and more dark and evil He actually was trying to schedule an exorcism when I freaked out and finally bailed.
I'm not saying Granite's T is a really crappy one, just that it isn't working for Granite, and it's leading to a lot of stress and anxiety. She can't talk, she needs alternative ways of expressing herself until she gets to the place where she can talk.
