After a traumatizing termination with my exT, I checked out about 6 therapists and then settled in with one for a good 4 months. He got me through those 4 months -- the crisis period, I'd say -- and then I felt I needed to find someone who met my more specific needs. I emailed around to various practices explaining that I was looking to work on attachment issues and that I needed out of office contact. One practice emailed back and gave me my current T's name. I started seeing him (had a really really good, positive termination with my interim T), and it wasn't easy.... I wanted to run away a LOT in the first 2.5-3 months.... this is now month 4 and, only now am I beginning to really know that I found the right fit for me for sure.
