My first time in therapy, in my early 20's, I went to my GP and broke down crying when she asked if I was feeling ok...so mortified. She sent me to a T she recommended. I worked with that T for a little over a year and stopped when I seemed to be able to function better. I don't recall how long it took to see her but I suspect it was only a couple weeks.

Then about 4 1/2 years ago when I was struggling again, I tried to see her again. She had no openings and suggested my current T. He actually called me first to talk and I panicked. Luckily I made the appointment, which was only about a week wait. He has been such a wonderful T for me and it is a blessing that my 1st T couldn't see me again and referred him.
