Personally, I do not think you should be using your T as a personal trainer and a T. This to me is a dual-relationship

Good point. I hadn't really thought of that. But he did say I could use the gym even when he's not there, he'd just show me how to use some of the equipment. But yeah....good point.

Why do you feel you need hypno-therapy

I don't think I "need" it per se, just thought it would be interesting to try and see if that helps. I'm willing to try any technique to help figure out my issues and work thru them all.

Your last post about your meeting with your pnurse was extremely positive and it seemed that you were beginning to connect with her on a therpeutic level....Beginning to trust her. What about your T?

Well, they both have a very different "style". My Pnurse was an ER nurse for something like 15 years before she got her MSW and became a psych nurse. And, she's a woman. She just has a lot more of the caring, compassionate, I-want-to-help-you kind of style.

My therapist, on the other hand, is very...hmm, what's the word? Academic? He's always explaining the research behind different theories. Not so much the kind of person who would give you a hug - but the kind who would tell you which chemicals in your brain will react to a hug.

Does that make sense?

Anyway, I do like both of them. But cost is one issue, and if for some reason my pnurse doesn't work out, or whatever, I would have a backup at least on the therapy side.

Hmm...just something to consider. I have until next Thursday to decide.
