It's in November in Philadelphia. I will finish even if I have to crawl across the finish line

Did what she said about T2's tardiness help you want to stay in therapy with T2? I know you were considering quitting because of T2's constant lateness. I hope she had some good suggestions on how to deal with the situation. |
What she did say helped me want to stay in therapy with T2. I simply need to tell T2 I think she can help me and I want to continue therapy with her and I have a few suggestions about the time etc......
T1 was a little bit shocked or said it was 'interesting' (so did marriage T) when I told her about T's comment of 'finding another therapist' (so did my friend who is a social worker). I also told T1 that is was feeling like my therapy was really about T2 and not me
She really couldn't comment as she wasn't in the room but I felt heard. T1 told me she is going on vacation next week and we chatted a little.
If things don't work out with T2 (I'm going to give her a couple appointments to see how it goes) then I need to evaluate what to do from there. My goal is to get through some things with a trauma therapist. The next closest person to me is 45 minutes away and she is an expert that other T's go to for training but her schedule is jam packed and I called her months ago and never got a call back (not sure if that was my fault or hers).
Thank you all so much for listening. I am lucky to have had T1 in my life and while I'm happy about that there is an element of sadness mixed in with that. Usually the sadness comes after the happiness.
But I still consider myself lucky to have experienced happiness as painful as it can feel afterwords.
