Iīm in agony about contacting or not contacting my old T after we had a bad rupture. Itīs quite a long story but I was in therapy with her for some months, I liked her and we did fine up until I sent her a couple of opinions about the therapy which she couldnīt handle, she became dismissive.
I was chocked about it and couldnīt handle go see her and the therapy ended by phone. Since then Iīve been searching for a new T, for several months now. One or two has felt OK but for different reasons I havenīt found a new T.
My old T told me at the end I should try psychoanalysis instead of psychodynamic therapy and Iīve met with a couple of psychoanalysists but I donīt feel itīs right even if my old T recommended me that.
Old T never told me I wasnīt allowed to contact her again but she never told me the opposite either.
As I saw old T for just some months I canīt really tell something about the progression but I felt more hope and strength. Old T said she didnīt think she was the right T for me but thereīs a big but about that because she just before the rupture told me we did good therapy together and that I were a special client to her.
I really donīt know what to do and I take into consideration things like
*Being hurt and disappointed again if I contact her and she says no to see me.
*If she says yes to see me again, that weīll end up in a rupture again
*Iīve felt very bad about the rupture, crying and still cries over it sometimes. I feel worse than before I went into therapy.
But I also think I can overcome the things that caused the rupture, itīs more that Iīm uncertain about the consequences if weīd start therapy again. I also know that when Iīve now seen several other T:s in evaluation Iīve always thought about my old T, regretting we ended therapy the way we did. Old T told me not to regret what happened but I do.
I would need some advice on this.
