I don't think I'd even know where to properly begin, I get so much out of therapy - a greater and growing sense of stability, a better understanding of my internal and external world, a chance to experience secure attachment, a sense of hope that things really can get better and I don't just have to be satisfied with muddling through things, etc. It's my Pdoc who keeps me going back, if he wasn't any good at what he does in therapy then I doubt all the sessions in the world would do me any good. I've been in therapy before, and some therapists were okay, I could work with them at least, and they taught me some skills that I've been able to utilise in day to day life to manage my symptoms - but others I've seen (T's and Pdoc's) haven't been so great. I've been in therapy now for almost 5 years and it's the first time I've really felt a true benefit from it, and I think that's mainly due to my Pdoc's abilities and the fact that we just seem to match really well as patient and therapist.
