The work I've done with this new t has had nothing to do with OCD. While she is an "OCD specialist" and focuses on EX/RP, we have spent all of our time focused on dealing with my anger and frustration at how my situation was dealt with in residential. We have done literally NO ocd work in the time I've been seeing her.

With my old t, I want to work on everything. I want to learn how to manage my emotions in a healthy way. I want to learn how to find security and fill that hole that I feel inside of me (without my therapist being the one to fill it). I want to find independence and trust in a situation that allows me to learn how but with the assurance that I will have somewhere/someone to fall back on. I want to get advice about normal teen issues- school pressures, peer stresses, rocky friendships, etc. I want someone to help me through the process of applying to college. I want a chance to finish my journey with the person I started it with and who was there the entire time.
