So I have changed my primary care to a different clinic. Do I dare to hope I'll have a nicer GP than the one I've told myself I had to stay with, for the past 6 years... ...
The new medical clinic offers therapy for only 6 sessions unless there's substance abuse involved, then there's ongoing therapy and groups. I think that's excellent. I wish someone would get their act together and offer groups for other mental health issues.
I can see a therapist long-term at the clinic where my med dude is, but there's only one I'd be interested in seeing.That said, she's a woman and I'd much rather see a man for therapy.
I'm sure there are also other options for therapy, but I don't know...I don't think I'm feeling it at this time. This whole thing with Mary has been awful and I honestly don't feel like I'll ever truly trust a therapist again. I'm angry with myself that I stuck with her, kept believing in her, when my intuition was telling me otherwise, for years. There are just way too many therapists who keep practicing long after they should so they can pull in a salary, and I swear they know just how to hook a client in.
The only reason I am considering therapy is literally to do a short-term gig with the primary purpose of working through the grief and trauma I'm feeling from my therapy with Mary. I have the option of seeing Dr. B. next week; I could discuss the situation with him. The problem there is that he adores Mary (like, maybe a bit too much). So I'm not sure he'd be able to be objective, and the last thing I need is more crap.
In other news...106 degrees! When I was driving over to the clinic to drop off the new patient form, even though I had the car a/c on I was fighting falling asleep from the heat. When I stepped out of the car it felt like the Negev, the desert in Israel. So terribly hot that my thoughts were fuzzy. Too much.
