Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I can relate to what you are saying. I was in a situation where the DBT therapist recommened someone else b/c she was full. I knew that the other person and their group was not the right place. I talked w/ my main therapist about it and he let me know what you have been hearing. I am the patient and it is not a personal thing. I ended up going to the orginal group and just waiting a month for a space to open up. Discuss it with Marianne and if it feels right then I suggest going back to Susan and explaining it and working with the person who is best for you.
I am so insecure about chosing people that when I needed a 2nd
opinion about major knee surgery I was afraid of hurting the other surgeons feelings. He found the whole thing very funny b/c most people go with the surgeon who is most competent for them.
I think as long as you are keeping the lines of communication open then yippee for you for taking care of yourself.
