I have a therapist whom I love and have been working with for years. We have covered a lot of material and still have a lot to get through including pursuing my EMDR treatment plan more thoroughly. We've discussed how my OCD symptoms are affecting me and have worked somewhat on those, but I don't feel like we really have the time to devote to attacking those and getting me some relief. I already see my therapist twice a week due to recent events in my life and restarting my EMDR plan. Has anyone ever used a second therapist to address another area? Did it work well? Would you do it again?

Yes, I actually see 3 t's. One is for EMDR, one for DID, one for support. It has been very helpful for me.

It was hard to talk some of them into my plan at first, but now they are all on board with it. A big concern was whether they would be stepping on each other's treatment plans, but with two I have goals set that are different (and the 3rd, my goal is to not need to see him) and we work on those goals. I currently see one twice a week and the others once per week, but at one point was seeing 2 twice per week.
