Went to see the new t today :-) I was stoked about finding out he was a p-doc rather than a councellor or a psychologist / CBT therapist...

The interview meeting went really very well indeed :-) I'm so happy about how it went :-)

Turns out... He works for a couple days a week in the public service doing... DBT. Excellent. Then he has a private practice where he does more psychodynamic stuff. Excellent. :-) Really great!!!!!

He said he would be happy to see me privately and he is happy to set a rate that I can afford (as little as $5 per session) and after some more chatting... He would be happy to figure out how to bulk bill or whatever to see if my health insurance can help us out a little more than that.

Great!

And... He said he was pretty booked up for the rest of the year so he will only be able to see me once per week until after the new year. Thats just perfect for me because of my deadlines and stuff anyrate. And the only time he could manage was perfect for me too...

The best thing was... He seems really nice. Gentle... But he has the potential for a bit of a tone so I'm sure he is capable of pushing too... And... He seems to know about the department I'm studying in (and he didn't know I was in that department before we met)... So that leads me to believe he might be fairly theoretically minded which is great for me... And... I said that I didn't want him to meet them and he said that was okay. He said that he has treated other people with this too though he isn't an expert probably the only expert in this country is this guy from Queensland anyways... Which is fairly far away... So...

It just seems about too good to be true.

That is what I've wanted for SO LONG NOW!!! Finally!!! And he was really terrific about giving me his details and saying to think on it and no pressure... No pressure at all...

But also that he would need to confirm the dx. Which scares me a little... How is he supposed to do that without meeting them? I don't want him to meet them :-( I don't want anybody to meet them :-(

But anyways...

:-)

It sounds too good to be true... I can't believe it...

This feeling will fade, won't it... To be replaced by all the crap inside me :-(

But really... I'm so happy for me :-)
