Someone else who does not want to do it as badly may not be willing to take that risk.
It is personal, for us and for Ts. I fully understand if a T is not comfortable with it but it feels necessary for me which is why I chose a T who was. There will be a lot of thinking for you to do but maybe go with your gut on this one as it can be quite a primal thing and we can't reason away things that are that deep.

Thank you for your thoughtful post and encouragement. This is such a good way to think about it, I suppose I sometimes put therapy in a bit of a bubble and forget it's only a risk in the same sense everything else is. That is really helpful.
