Hi InRealLife45...

I have never done art therapy, it sounds fascinating though. But... am I understanding correctly that in 6 months you'll *have* to change Ts b/c of the insurance issues?

I think, if it were me, I'd be a little concerned about that. In 6 months, it'll be Christmas time, Ts may be out on vacation, it might be a rough time for you (it is for me), it might be hard to jump in with someone new. If it were me, and I had a little extra money, I'd be inclined to use the time/money to start doing "interviews" with new Ts on the side... you know, one off meetings here and there, being totally upfront about when you're looking to start. That way you can use the safety and security of your current T-relationship as a place to come back to, but still branch out and explore... and you can hopefully find someone awesome you click with, to help make the switch a little more smooth and less scary when it happens.

But, that's just me... Other than that, I think if art therapy strikes your fancy, why the heck not give it a try?
