My T gave me several referrals. She seemed to be trying to cover her arse, giving me as many as she could. I saw 3 of them. I called some of the others.

One that she recommended strongly was an acquaintance of hers. Imagine telling this new T that her acquaintance/colleague harmed me. Just made things worse. She couldn't go there and simply had to make it about me.

One guy I saw 4 times felt he lacked sufficient attachment background. He was a Harvard educated PsyD. What?

Later, ex T strongly recommended her own therapist. I called her and she was not accepting new clients.

The whole thing became a sort of farce. I tried or interviewed several other Ts that were not referrals. Just didnt work. Even the thought now of speaking to a T fills me with disgust and dread.
