If there's a way to find a T who can really handle this deep stuff I don't know of it. I think maybe the only way to do it is to start by learning skills - mindfulness, DBT, etc., so you can contain yourself enough to not trigger the T's issues and wind up being retraumatized by their sh^t. I know it sucks - Ts should be able to handle our issues, but far too many of them cannot, and we have to learn to protect ourselves if we are to find healing.

To you strangers (though song

The fire of birds in
The world's turning wood,
For my sawn, splay sounds,)
