shoez, sweetie, I'm sorry you are going through this! Plenty of safe hugs to you!

The first time I was in therapy, I had to take meds just to be able to do therapy. I wasn't even dealing with past trauma; I was dealing with right-there-in-the-moment-trauma. I was first placed on Zoloft, Klonopin, and Seroquel. Then they added Trileptil as a mood stabilizer. Once I progressed in therapy and got out of the gawd-awful situation I was in, I went off the Trileptil, then the Seroquel. I still take the Zoloft and Klonopin because my depression is a chemical imbalance and it exacerbates the anxiety.

MKAC and shoez...are y'all in the US? My state requires all T's to have a supervisor. They even have a separate accreditation: Certified Clinical Supervisor. You are required to have somewhere around 5 years of experience and take a special test. The guy who owns the practice my T works in supervises the four T's in the practice, as well as having his own practice. I don't like him...he seems like a snot.
