So I havent told either of them , but I go to two different therapists through two different insurance plans, my husbands and mine. I havent told anyone, not even my husband. I am enjoying both therapists and it is interesting to see the different ways that they approach a problem. Now I have nothing left to talk to them about. I almost wish I had something to give cause to see them.
do any of you do this?

I only saw a second T when mine was off. I find it interesting that you think you need "cause" to see a therapist. Therapy is for anyone who wants to go, no?

I'm currently seeing two Ts - the one I started to go to through work who's only in town once a month, and the one that I got pushed into seeing weekly so that I could see the pdoc.

I've mostly used the one through work to process having to see the other one and going about getting diagnosed. I don't know what I will be saying when I see him again near the end of the month.

How was it to see two? Did you find it confusing as to who you'd told what? I wanted to see two and when i told them both therapists weren't keen. in the future if i wanted two i'd not tell them i was doing that.

I have seen two for about the last 2.5 years or so. They each know I see other therapists but no particulars. I don't use insurance.

I see two T's. T#1 was the original one I started with. He is a CBT guy. He suggested, afte 4 months with him, that I see someone for EMDR. So I found a EMDR T, who is a IFS therapist, and have been with him since Feb.

T#1 I cut back to every 2 weeks and see T#2 twice a week every other week.

They both know about each other and on occasions have had to put out fires that the other created.

I've seen two in the past, and I'm also currently seeing two. I find it quite a bit better than seeing just one. Each therapist has always known that I'm seeing the other.
