Pbutton - Oh, your second T sounds wonderful! You're right, it's really hard because he has some great qualities that I haven't found in other therapists at all, so it's really just tearing me apart trying to figure out whether it's worth staying, whether he'll actually be helpful in the end, or whether I just need to get out and re-stabilize myself.

NowhereUSA - awww... that's great that your T understands you, though I get how sometimes it may not feel great! Still, it's got to be helpful, doesn't it? It's hard for me to imagine how a T can help if they don't understand... you know what I mean? Without the understanding, isn't it just generic advice and shooting in the dark?

Artemis-Within - no need to apologize, you painted a really beautiful picture of your relationship with your T! I'm a little jealous though! But thanks for sharing it!
