I've been seeing my T for a year and a half, twice a week. I am seeing a new T next week. I'm not sure what my intentions are right now, except to try to move past this road block I have been in with T1 for 9 months. Maybe T2 can help me through it so I can continue my work with T1, or perhaps I will realize T2 is a better fit for me. T1 is more psychodynamic, T2 is CBT. I am being treated for complex PTSD, but honestly, some of my T's actions triggered that PTSD a great deal, and I'm still stuck. I love T1, and she has helped me a great deal. She has also caused some hurt, which I'm struggling to move past. I don't intend to leave T1 at this time. But T2 said that keeping two T's in this situation might not be a bad thing, sice their modalities are so different, I may find gain in each one, in a different way. So obviously T2 knows I'm seeing T1. I have not told T1 I was even considering the idea of a second T. I'd love some opinions, especially if you've been in this boat.
When did you decide to tell your T?
How did they take it?
Knowing what you know now, would you change anything as far as timing?
Don't know why I'm fretting. Just have a feeling T1 won't approve. But that's my business, I guess.
