I had such a good T for such a long time before she got sick with MS. And I didn't get better then either. I mean I made progress, but I wasn't better. Still depressed, still SH etc. I've been on so many meds, tried so many homeopathic treatments, nothing seems to help. And it scares me when regular T says she's not sure she's helpful. The people I'm trusting to help me arent sure they are helping. That is so scary. I feel hopeless which makes it even harder to make a change. But that's probably when it's most necessary. Right now I just have to get through this crises and this weekend and then try to sort things out. Thanks for all the support here on the couch and PC. Hugs. Happy Thanksgiving Kit

Right now it probably seems like you made less progress than you actually did because depression can make everything seem useless and hopeless. I am holding onto hope for you that a new T could help you even more. I had a great therapist in college who helped me tremendously but certainly didn't "cure" my depression. But she got me comfortable enough with therapy that I was able to make much more progress with my next therapist ten years later. I think finding trauma specialists was key for me. They know how to dig into things, and they aren't intimidated when things get messy. (Not that all trauma therapists are amazing, etc but they should at least be more likely to know what they're getting into than a run-of-the-mill therapist.)
