I found my t's through our local counseling center. I kept cutting and was referred to the PHP. I love the two female t's but the male t is a bit difficult to get along with sometimes.
The first time I went to the PHP I was so scared. There were all these people and I don't deal too well with too many people. I think I clicked with the two female t's when they started reading me correctly. They seemed to know what I was feeling and my reasoning behind it. It was like "oh my god people understand me!"
The one t I like best has an aggressive style that I find very helpful. She's up front and to the point. She doesn't play games and will tell you what you're doing wrong. She won't stand for bigotry, racism, or discrimination. I like that.
I prefer the group therapy over individual because I can get other people's opinions and the views aren't just one sided. I get to see different points of view.
I've been going to the PHP on and off for the last 4 years and it's really helped me out. Currently I've been cut-free for the past 3 months. I couldn't have done it without the help of the t's and the group. I know it's not for everyone, but it helps me out all the same.
