it's been a while since I posted here. . .lots of things going on.
Saw a new therapist last Thursday. And again today. And I'll see her again on Friday. Though the office gave me a reasonable rate, she informed me today that that rate will be a "weekly rate" regardless of how frequently I see her during the week. And she's willing to see me at least 2 times a week, possibly 3 depending on what we're dealing with. I like her. I don't know how to handle liking her. I really expected another a-hole shrink to tell me I'm hysterical/bipolar/BPD/schizo/depressed/anxious/etc rather than actually LISTEN to me much less believe me. But she did. And she had the right answers for things. . .tests I suppose. . .that I was throwing out there to test the waters. So. . .why am I so nervous?

I'm glad you've had a good experience. Whenever experiences don't match my expectations, even if they end up in the positive direction, I experience anxiety. Especially if the positive experience is counter to a long history of negative experiences.
I hope things continue to go well. |

It is all still so new; we're always nervous/suspicious/waiting for the other shoe to drop, etc. when we just start something. I'm glad you like her and it's looking good!

Hopefully, things will continue to go well so that the anxiety can decrease!

starting with someone new is always anxiety provoking, even more so after you've been thru so much with prior t's.

Two visits down, email over the weekend, and I see her again on Wednesday. Still wondering how this is going to end up. Still wondering why i'm even talking to her - not sure if it's trust, or just the desperation to find out if she *really* can help me, so just throw it all out there kind of thing, you know?

I hear some HOPE in your message. Hope for something different/better always help me when I started with a new therapist.
Hang on to that sliver of hope. |
