I can hear your pain in your post. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this! My first thought upon reading your post was the 12 session limit. I don't think that's right. Is that due to the T or your insurance or ??? I would definitely consider trying a new T, talk about transference right up front so she can do what she can to help with it before it happens, and a therapist who won't have a session limit right off the bat. You were only just getting started, and had to stop. I am seeing three Ts right now, one psychodynamic, one CBT, and one somatic experiencing. Trying to decide which one is best. My psychodynamic T I've seen for almost two years, and think I need to leave her because the transference and attachment is too high to be a healthy experience for me. So far, I don't have this with the other two at all.
