Upset by what prospective T told me

I talked with a T I liked today, and made an appointment! She and I talked for about half an hour. The biggest problem is that she has several offices, and is only in the one nearby 2 days/week. So, I'm not seeing her until a week from Monday.

She sounded warm and friendly, and remembered what I said in my message to her. She told me I had a lot of insights. I tried to explain what I wanted, and she said, "you feel like a piece of the puzzle is missing." That's exactly it! She's psychodynamic, but also eclectic.

I have a good feeling about her.
I also left another message for the other T. It's probably best if I meet more than one, though that may confuse me since they sound so different and I don't make decisions very easily. But at least I have some options now!

That's awesome, rainbow! I can't wait to hear all about your session

That sounds great, Rainbow! May the time pass quickly.

((((((((((((rainbow))))))))))))))))) that's great news. I'm looking forward to hearing about how the meeting goes.

I talked to the expressive arts T, a social worker, who does internal family systems therapy. She sounds so good too!! I asked if she had experience treating BPD and she said she doesn't like diagnoses. She does list PTSD as one of her strengths. She talked about parts, and specifically mentioned a 6 year old child. I told her that something happened to me when I was 6! So, if I see her I'll for sure get a chance to let my child part have its say! She is also learning EMDR.

Both of these prospective Ts are providers on my insurance plan. They are different, but sound equally interested in me and caring. The other one, a psychologist, has testimonials on her website. Her presentation seems a bit "too" polished, and that may intimidate me, but on the phone she sounded warm and not intimidating at all.

So, I will have to see how I feel when I meet each one. This is getting kind of exciting for me. I am almost glad I had that session with my T because it was a turning point. She gave me permission to see someone else. It was the first time she admitted that she hadn't been able to help me with the attachment issue. I've been so reluctant to let go of her even though many people have been telling me that she can't help me any more. This too, is a learning experience for me.

wow rainbow, it sounds like you may have two really good Ts to choose from. yea!
