I saw a t briefly, at the initial consult I asked her if she'd be amenable to doing psychodynamic work with me. She said she mainly does cbt but was trained in psychodynamic and if that is what I want she will do it.
Turns out, she was unable to do the psychodynamic work, she was so heavily cbt...she herself joked about her inability to remain on the psychodynamic track....
I miss her, as I liked her...yet, if she's unable to engage with me in the way I need her to....then of what good is it that we get along well?

I found another t...what I really like about her is that she really listens to me about what I want and don't want with regard to treatment modality. I am so moved by her 'flexibility'.. where another t might say, 'I do cbt and I feel this is what will help you' she might say to me, 'I do cbt but if you feel it isn't helpful to you...tell me what you'd like from me and I will provide that...'
I don't know that she is the most skilled t around...but I love the fact that she is so willing to hear what it is I want and tries to do it the way I like her to.
