There are some T's who love drama and intrigue and would prefer to be treating, talking or writing about sexual or ritual abuse or anything juicy rather than garden-variety problems. Not that sexual abuse doesn't happen, but why go looking for it?

There are also T's out there who love to feel like the ultimate nurturer and rescuer and probably get too much pleasure out of people saying they saved their life.

Both of those are dangerous traits to have and in no way conducive to actual healing IMO.

Anyway, what is your actual presenting concern? If you haven't been ritually or sexually abused exactly how is this T suited for you?
Current T says this T is very experienced with trauma, attachment, and dealing with high levels of distress/crises. She's been a T for forty years...but I will discuss it more with T when I see her on Monday, because I want to know specifically, in detail, why she thinks this T can help me. Honestly, I think it's mostly because my T really likes this T and has a lot of respect for her, her approach, personality, methods, etc.
