My very first T was a great guy, a phd psychologist. Very understanding and professional, kind of like the father I always wished I could have had. He took a long time to Dx me and his Dx has held up after all these years.
All my other t's were female and easier to talk to about the details of the abuse.
Not about any t in particular but therapy in general I've come a long way from that terrified disassociated person I was. My cPTSD is under control thanks to them all. I still struggle with BP but therapy has taught me to be aware of my mood states and how to better cope with them. If nothing else they can tell me when I'm not noticing the mood shifts and give warning.
