I didn't mean to discourage you. I'm just at a point in my own life where I'm feeling frustrated with the lack of progress with regard to the treatment of mental illness since I was first in the system 40 years ago. What I mean is, I feel like I need something else at this point. But I'll be 60 in 2 months, so my situation is so different from yours.
When would you start seeing the new t?

You weren't discouraging me. I was in between therapists for a few months in 2019 when I was waiting for my transference T to have an open slot and I did fine on my own then. That wasn't almost a year though of waiting when I had other stuff going on that could cause issues if I werent in therapy.
I know what you mean about being frustrated with the mental health system. Since I moved I just haven't been able to find anyone.
I think I'll be starting with this new therapist after Thanksgiving.
