After getting out from under ex-T's care I can now say that I was re-experiencing all my trauma again with her. She did not know how to handle people who have been traumatized. She also did not explain the process or offer enough support. She would tell me she's not going to tell me how transference works because "you'll give it legs". So, I was in the dark and constantly questioning her.
My new T. is the complete opposite. She has treated people suffering from trauma, has been very specific how to work through the transference and is available more to me. She recognizes that I need the contact in between for when I feel flooded. It's been such a better experience!
