I also had to be very, very honest with all those people upfront, and just walk away if they didn't seem 100% onboard with everything, which most didn't.
I am fortunate also that I am in a position in life now where I can afford to be choosy, both in time and money ways. I have not been in this position before, so therapy before this, for me, would have been a lot more limited I think, and possibly would not have worked for me.
Lots of factors to consider there but I still do think that if people believe that they know what they need, and have the resources, they should look for it. That is a big reason why I post, because had I not had old T telling me this, I would not have kept looking. I would have given up, and I think that would have been a real shame.
Thank you, and I do really hope that one day you too can find something in this crazy world that really helps you, deep down.

I remember how you posted about Old T supporting you and encouraging you. I feel very honoured and happy tbh to have witnessed on this forum through your posts of you having to end with Old T, how Old T encouraged you in your search, how you had to interview so many Ts and be so upfront with your needs and walking away from so many who couldn't provide what you know you need.
I'm so glad you have this T who really really seems fantastic, giving, kind....so willing to meet your needs and collaborate with you in creative ways.

And you, your courage, determination, creativity, effort...that you've poured into your therapy.
