Actually I have never thought about it that way. Thanks for the new perspective.
I think crisis intervention is one of her specialties and favorite things to do. It was once my crisis died down that things went flat and she was basically like "what now?" Which is weird because I was not in crisis when I first began therapy with her. The reason I started was to cope with past traumas and help with current life situations. All of that made me spiral downward, into a crisis. She grabbed my hand tight and didn't let go until I was completely out of the hole...But once I was on solid ground I felt her grip loosen...A LOT.
My new insurance kicks in soon. Next week, I think. I will have to ask if they allow seeing two T's at once. I can't afford to pay out of pocket for a second one. I like the idea of "tapering" though. I don't necessarily have to leave but I could see what else is out there and maybe it will help me feel better about the decision. I hope so. Because I seriously worry about my mental state if she makes the decision for us.
