I've always been curious to hear what someone in real life thinks of my T. I had my evaluation with the group leader today. I stood up. She right away told me that the group is 3 hours and asked if I would I be able to sit for most of it. I said no. She said it wouldn't be appropriate and would probably stress me out more! Correct! She thought a chronic pain therapist would be better for me. Unfortunately, the only one in the system isn't taking new patients, and was too far away anyway. I never even heard of that specialty. Has anyone? I can look up to see if there are any in my area.

So, I asked if this person knew my T because she had recommended the group. She smiled and said yes. I said, she's good, isn't she? I got another big smile and the answer that T makes referrals to her. This was the first time another person validated my T. I never doubted her abilities but it was nice to hear it from someone else who knows her. I liked this group leader but I agree that sitting for even one hour would be impossible. You have to take notes in DBT though for me, it would be review.

This group leader had me sign a release because she wants to talk to my T about me.

I'm curious. Has anyone validated your feelings about your T? How did it make you feel? It was just nice to hear and see... that's all.
