Another therapist i got referred to was a specialist in DID and trauma which i needed. Everything seemed to be going great- he was so nice, like an old grandfather, and he really knew what he was talking about. I was desperate for a nice person after all the t's i had been meeting with.
And he started to say how the person HE would be referring me to was a nice lady... And i said WAIT you wont be my therapist? He said, I thought you knew i was just interviewing you to refer you to someone. Um, NO. Wasnt told that.
I started crying and got up and ran out.
To his credit, he did call me after about five minutes to check on me.

Oh, no. That's so sad. Did you ever find a nice therapist. It was such a relief when I found a trauma t with dissociative disorder experience and knowledge. I felt so calm, and taken care of. (I did dissociate for most of the first three sessions but she handled it so well, that I fell in love. ) I hope you found someone.
