Another vote for a good match.
I’ve worked with two T’s that both got their PhDs from the same school and graduated 2 years apart... so should have had some of the same professors and requirements. T1 was very prescriptive, she was warm-ish but very direct. She was straight CBT. Yes, she got some of the symptoms to stop but TBH my life still sucked because of all the other impacts of trauma. She shrugged and said that was the best I could hope for. T2 is crazy warm and nurturing and he is having to undo some of what she did but it feels like real healing not a bandaid. We have a very close bond. So... credentials don’t always make a difference.
And, in my not so humble experience... calling a client “treatment resistant” is a BS cop out if you are voluntarily showing up to therapy (at least the majority of sessions... cancelations and occasional ghosting happens).
