Peer consultation groups can be hit and miss.

With my ex therapist (Ex T) who did regular short term CBT, one of the group members is my current therapist (with trauma training and patients with abuse histories, some of whom have "personality disorders") who encouraged her to be flexible with me, and to demonstrate warmth and acceptance, as well as suggested trauma informed tools and methods as they realised I have an abuse history which I was deep in ignorance and then denial about.

T was OK with transitional objects. I learned that much later...

Ex T then went to her clinical Supervisor... Who vetoed transitional objects and told Ex T to go BACK to a rigid frame. So no more flexibility like extra time. I had wanted Ex T to charge a marble I owned.

Eventually T suggested ex T learn schema therapy to help me and she was willing...but then her clinical supervisor AGAIN...

Ex T eventually went on maternity leave. Before she did, she placed me with T.
