Ironically the current T said she did psychodynamic psychotherapy when I was initially calling around to see who did what. Then she offered the imagery for relaxation and, like you I like it and continue to do it. (I ordered from a site after borrowing several of her tapes: www.whoeperson.com) . I will alwaysy be thankful for her introducing me to relaxation/imagery. Anyway, I understood the psychodynamic therapy to be something different than what she does. Then, when I was looking for a different therapist and going over the online list on my insurance company's site, I clicked on her name and there is was: CBT. How I missed it when I knew that wasn't what I wanted is beyond me. lol. I had considered asking her to work with me in a different way but I don't think I would trust that. She has said, about her use of imagery and hypnosis that "this is what I do" and I feel as if she is saying accept it or not. Well we'll see what another visit brings. At least I think I will go for one more. Just not sure...

The new T is an analyst-in-training who was referred to me by an analytic institute. However, she said she is eclectic so I have to clarify that when we meet. At least I know now to clarify because I know what I want and don't want. Thank you for warning me not to expect fireworks! That is good advice.

I'm hope you and your new T work great together and she can provide you with what you want and need!

Gosh, it's sometimes a long road just to get the T, isn't it?!
