My new T said recently... Sometimes the biggest difference is made by those who are 'willing' (not sure that's the word she used) to bend the rules slightly. I know that was the case with my last T. I think the tightrope therapists walk between helping/doing harm is very thin, but good communication, knowing each other (as much as we can ever know a therapist) and working together are key to ensuring that things stay ok the helpful side. Not sure that made any sense, but I hope it did. I'm glad you found the visit helpful SK and I hope that going forwards things keep working out for you. I like your 'my T is odd and so am I', because that's how I felt about working with my old T. I needed something over and above what most therapists would feel comfortable with, and she was able to provide it, and it changed my life. Hugs.
