<font color="purple"> </font> latley I have felt it very difficult to keep my appts with my therapist. When I go, I do feel better after I leave, but honestly, I think I dhould be feeling better that I am. How do you know if it is time to seek someone else? I have been going to her since July. She has referred me several times to another therapist that does relaxation, imagery. But I feel that CBT is the best therapy for me. I don't know if she is strong enough in this area. Can someone please give some suggestions?

I don't know when it is the right time to switch therapists. But if s/he is still helping you every visit, then you should stay with her. But if you think someone else may help you more, then you should try seeing someone else. You can always return to the one you know, if the new person doesn't work out.

Best of luck to you!

Could you "try out" the other therapist a couple of times and see what she has to offer, while not giving up your current one yet?

Imagery and relaxation are fun. The results are surprising. You might want to give it a look.

Have you discussed with your current therapist the reason/s she wants to refer you and the reason/s you want to stay with her? It might help you to talk about it with her.
