Hi Emily,
This is a good topic for us to discuss and for me now.
How did you choose your T?I am from the uk and I have my therapy on the NHS which means it state funded so I don't really get to choose the T but I do choose what sort of area I have wanted my therapy to be in. I have psychoanalysis, dynamic talk thearapy.This has been a mixed experience. My first appointment I was quite nervous and the assemnet was for 3 weeks, this lead to me being 'advised' that I should go to a theraputic community, which is a modern mental health hospital. I was horrified at this decision as I didn't feel unable to function, I wasn't any danger to myself or others and I'd certainly not implied I needed this kind of treatment. Needless to say this did not get my therapy off to a good start. I became defensive and guarded. I put forward a rational and thought out discussion of why I refused this advise and carryed on with weekly therapy, whilst living in my own community.
