Echoes, Though I am very pleased for you, I must admit my stomach churned a little as I read. I mean how would you have felt if she had said "I;m sorry I don't feel we would be a good fit together?" That would have felt awful for you? I dunno maybe I'm out of line here but it just churned my stomach somewhat. I felt this T was putting a heavy weight onto your shoulders? as I say I am pleased for you. Had you had any worrys about this yourself?

I felt the same thing, Mouse. I'm so glad it worked out well, but if I had been in that situation and the therapist had decided not to continue with me, I would have felt personally rejected... and it would have been hard for me to deal with and would have made me scared to try another therapist -- because I would be feeling like I'm not even good enough to get a therapist to accept me. It was SO hard for me to seek therapy in the first place. I can't imagine how I would have reacted if my therapist had rejected me. It's an odd thing for a therapist to do, IMO. It seems insensitive to me and could be traumatic for someone who is already in a fragile state. I think it's great that the therapist wants to work with people she feels she can help, but I wonder if there's a better way to accomplish this... without risking damaging a patient by rejecting them and possibly causing setbacks in their recovery.
