My T does specialize in PTSD/CSA....that isn't why I picked him, because when I went into therapy, I really didn't understand that THAT was what I needed to work on (I just wanted to feel "less stressed")...but it turned out to be just what I needed.

BUT, I've read (and believe) that the most important part of healing is the relationship between the therapist and the client. My T does NOT specialize in ED's (just the opposite, honestly. he is SO clueless)...but over the course of therapy, I've recovered from my ED. My recovery was SO not related to any specific therapeutic intervention, but to the overall healing I've been able to do, and I *know* that healing has been found in the therapeutic relationship.

I guess I could imagine a situation where a therapist could be totally clueless and unhelpful (especially around CSA), but it sounds like that isn't the case at all with your old T...it sounds like you have been able to do a lot of significant healing with her.

When I was trying to choose a therapist years ago, I talked to my T (although he wasn't my T at the time) on the phone and told him that I was struggling with choosing a therapist. He told me "pay attention and you'll know what to do". That really stuck with me. What is your inner wisdom telling you?
