i like the new t. she was appalled that my old t dropped me just like that, she said "we are here to help!!".
she also told me that she is an expert in PTSD and EMDR, and that she doesnt' really like meds (but also that she would never tell someone to go off their meds and that she knows that it's beneficial for some people) and believes that with therapy most people can come off their meds eventually, or at least reduce them. (my old t had a similar attitude.)
she said she's the one who takes the "hopeless" cases, the clients that no other therapist will touch with a ten foot pole. (in other words though.)
she said she could tell i'm guarded and have trust issues (very true), so we're going to spend the first few sessions just talking and getting to know each other before we start tackling the more difficult stuff.
and she said she's going to make a treatment plan and plan every session in advance. that's something i've never had before!!!

i'm feelikng a teeny tad more hopeful, i think she might actually be able to achieve something.
