How many significant therapists have you had?

Two T's before my current one.

How long did you spend with each?

1st T: About a year and a half. Then took a break to do panic disorder group therapy. Then went back shortly after 9/11, for about six months or so.

2nd T: I felt as though we could have formed a significant relationship. I saw him for a couple weeks; we never had a set day/time because of scheduling/insurance issues. I recall that he told me he would call me to set up another session... He never called. And I didn't call him. Either way, I never heard from him again. So I saw him a couple weeks, then he disappeared, then I left NY for Philly.

Care to share why you left? Some already have shared.

With my 1st T, we mutually agreed that I had made the significant progress to leave. I was mostly seeing her for help with my panic disorder/agorophobia/depression. She helped. Little did I know I had would hae so much of my character to work on; so many core issues that were never touched.

I already shared that, in regards to T #2.

How much time did you spend in between?

Between 1st and 2nd... probably about a year.
Then I moved to Philly in March of 2005, started seeing current T in October.

When you left one...did you know there would be another?

I figured as much. There was symptom reduction... but I knew I had a lot of work to do otherwise.

Anything else you would care to share here?

I feel lost tonight.
