Ive tried IFS with a local therapist & ran into ethical issues. So I started to look past my town.
I don’t like extensive histories or discussing how & when I was diagnosed almost 30 yrs ago. She didn’t know what ECT was & I had to explain it. She asked me about my first hospitalization & how I felt. I was a kid!

I know on paper I look like a train wreck & probably pretty scary to take on. I don’t do details, but if I don’t feel a connection soon it’s not worth trying.
She arrived at the office at the start of her day at the same time as I arrived. If she’s reading case notes 40min Into the appt, to me, she’s not prepared & cant rely on memory.
Thank you all for listening. I always wonder if I fly off the handle too quickly or I’m too judgmental.
