has anyone ever had to work through their feelings for their therapist with a different therapist?... to help repair a rupture so the working relationship can heal and continue to work?

I did, and it worked out. do you have a pdoc you can talk to that you already see, or a previous T? the main questions were not, is T imperfect, was the rupture horrible, will I always remember this betrayal (or whatever)? it's all yes. the question is, can you still work with T, can T still help you?
Thanks for this!

My most recent rupture was repaired by us going together to a second T.

If you think your relationship is worth saving and are willing to work on it, I'd say your chances are excellent.

Sending so many hugs!
My T and I had a really, really bad and drawn out rupture over the course of like 3 months. We had to do a LOT of work together and it was one of the worst time for both of us. But we did it and Im so glad we did.
Thanks for this!

I have done so. I specifically went for awhile to figure out how to handle being mocked byt the first therapist. I could have just stayed with the new one, but for some reason I keep going back to the first one. It seemed to help and the second one is much better and willing to explain to me things about therapy itself. I still go to the second one from time to time. It helped me.
Thanks for this!

Thanks 4 sharing this, stopdog. :handshake: ( I heard ur not big on the hugs )

I sent her an email about how I was feeling and got a nice reply which helps. I've lost that safe feeling with her and I want it back.hopefully I won't need an outside person to do that. We shall see...

I hope you can work it out with your current T whether you have to see someone else or not. I have a feeling that you can repair the rupture with your T since you shared how you felt and she replied to you. Good luck!
Thanks for this!

I would feel like I had really slipped down a rabbit hole if I was seeing a therapist to deal with my relationship with a therapist. but that's just me.

I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but I wonder about this strategy.

I agree with R-9. I have a feeling that you can repair the problem given that you shared exactly what your issues are....I would always suggest going that route, rather than creating a triangular relationship, which I feel can be problematic.

Just my two cents!

Ouch! "Problematic" is a triggering word for me cos Bad Facilitator used it so much.

I feel that all human relationships are problematic.
