Just a thought. You still have some hours left with the county clinicians, don't you? Specifically for helping you with your transition to a new T, right? How about making an appointment with transition T after your first appointment with new prospective T and run your first impressions by them? In addition to discussing your needs and concerns with prospective T, of course.
By the way, will you want pocket riders for the drive and/or the session? No backseat drivers I presume.
As far as MediCal, could the advocate do the MediCal stuff for you and just report back on the results or is that not a good option?
This is clearly advice night at Chez Rags.
My next thing on here is to read your blog post you linked to me in your response. Thanks for that by the way.

If I tell the county I found an individual T, they won't let me see their T. As much as I pride myself on honesty, I think this is one time that I should just omit the truth. Having two sources of supoort, county to help establish a relationship with a new T and new T to help me process this termination and start DBT, would be beneficial. And technically, they will never know because one is insurance and the other is cash. So yeah, great idea
I will take as many pocket riders as are willing to pile in. Actually, can it be purse riders? I only have one pair of pants and one skirt with pockets... And no back seat drivers allowed
Actually, my fiance said he will come with me. I don't know if he will be allowed into the session, but it will be nice having him there either way.
I'm not sure if the advocate will tackle Medi-Cal right now. She needs a denial and a case number in order to start the appeal. And again, then I will need to find a T willing to go through that process. Most doctors HATE Medi-Cal. There's just too much paperwork and such. Plus, the potential T doesn't take Medi-Cal. So if I stay with the new one, there's no point to involve Medi-Cal.
As for my website, I try to keep it focused on information or positive outlooks. My actual blog part, where I write about actual experiences, is the only part I allow myself to write the negatives. I just wanted a place to put everything I learn and share it with others. It also allows me to write as much as I want. It's funny though. Looking at my stats, people from France LOVE my Anne Geddes page. I get more hits off that than anything else
And someone suggested I write out my experience with this termination. So I sat down tonight and wrote it all out in a blog post. It really felt good. It's in black and white, out there for the whole world to read. I doubt it, but it would be funny if my T read it. She does know about my site. Doubt she cares though. She probably doesn't even think about me. But I didn't write it for her or anyone else. Just for me. Just so I no longer need to hold it to remember. It's there, it's real. And hopefully it will help me let go a little...
I'm glad my web post helped you some. I'm happy if I can help anyone in any way. I truly believe that every person holds a truth to life. They have lessons and wisdom. If I gain even a grain of that knowledge, I want to pass it forward. Even my T. Even though she has caused me an immense amount of pain, she has taught me a lot. And if I am truly honest with myself, I would still choose to have had my relationship with her even if I knew beforehand that she would cause me this much pain. She left a hole, but she also added to my being. Nothing will ever fill the hole she left, but I can build around it to minimize it's appearance. I can build with what she's given me, what everyone here has given me, and what I will gain from others in the future. It hurts, but growth hurts.
Oh...and you can be as marshmallowy as you want. I don't eat them. I like the taste, but they make me sick
