I thought this might be an interesting topic to explore:

My T is about the same age as me althought I don't know for certain. The first time I met him was about 6 years ago (although my memory of this is very very hazy, I remember his office, but not much about him) when he was counseling my middle son (who had a dangerous date with alcohol as a teen). We had gotten his name from another trusted therapist who was working with another family member.

Sooooo round about September of this year i asked the "trusted therapist" for a name of someone who could help me. He was now counseling my oldest son whose breakdown and subsequent behavior was triggering my past trauma.

The therapist game me the name of T and I said, "Oh, I know him".....I remember when he worked with other son."

I called for an appointment and the rest is history. I didn't interview any other T's, I was in bad shape and needed immediate stabilization and support. It did take me quite a few sessions (months really) to trust him, but now I do. So much so that i am beginning to fight with him.



So how did you first find your T?
