Sapien? I was thinking of you too.
Beth, I have not found CBT to be of much help either. Does the T offer any DBT? She says she misses seeing you. Wow, no T has said that to me
(I suspect they may be schooled that way in this area
Or maybe I really am/was a ''horrible'' client.
Yuck. I'm sorry about the mouldy pie.
Our trifle was bought from the supermarket, mixed berry trifle.
(tbh, papa bear is more into cooking than I am. A step witch might have factored into that. )
Sending hugs

I just received this email from my therapist. I guess I'll remove the names, just in case someone on the forum knows these people. Not like I feel like protecting that pdoc bi*ch.
Hello Beth,
I am so sorry to read about your struggles with your mental health status and Dr. xxx. I am relieved that you have connected with a new psychiatrist whom I hope feels more supportive of you. I am supportive of your right to complain about mental health services that did not serve you well. I would like to suggest we continue our therapy sessions to allow a safe place for you to express and release your feelings and thoughts about your traumatic experience as described in your email. I am also surprised but yet not (you predicted it) the breakup of your daughter’s marriage. It would be good for us to process that also. I understand if you feel aversion to entering the clinic but would like to encourage you to reconsider continuing therapy not only for releasing feelings and thoughts but support in continuing to learn new Mindfulness/CBT exercises/techniques. In addition, I miss seeing you. Let me know. Please continue to take care.
See, I am so fed up with hearing about CBT. I get it. I use it as much as it's helpful, which (for me) is minimal. If I see a new T I will tell her that if she mainly uses CBT it won't be a good fit.
I had a decent night of sleep, but now I feel worn out. Haha, on top of all the therapy crap I bought a marionberry hand pie from a lovely kind-of gourmet grocery store and it was moldy  Gross. I called their bakery and the woman there offered another hand pie. I told her probably not  I'd rather have credit for something else, but I didn't feel motivated to suggest that.
