I'm also a bit amazed....I keep reading from other posters that "T will be able to handle this" or T is trained to deal with this.

I have run across two ts in my time in therapy (out of say, 5) who were NOT AT ALL equipped to the kinds of things that seem to crop up here on this board on a routine basis.

Leading me to conclude that there are good therapists, bad therapists and everything in between. Leading me to MOVE ON when my needs are not being met, once I have given it a fair shake. Life is just too short.
