I just want to say....I really feel like I finally found what I've been looking for in T3. She literally has already changed my life! After T1, I never thought I'd be able to trust the therapeutic relationship again. I tried T2 (who I don't see regularly, she's just on standby), but I started T3 in February, and have been seeing her twice a week (hour and a half sessions) for quite some time now. T3's modality is somatic experiencing, and she is also a bodywork therapist. Being a certified massage therapist, she throws some of that in there too. She's gone to support groups with me, to help me transition into those (we're going to a new one tonight!) and she's so caring and loving I can feel it in and out of sessions. If I could change anything about her, it would include allowing between-session contact. If I had an emergency I could call, but I'm not one to have, or share anyway, emergencies. She only lives a mile down the road from me, which I thought would be strange at first, but I actually find it a bit comforting to know she's right down the road.

T1 caused a great deal of damage, I fear permanent damage, but T3 has really helped me with that. I am still seeing T1, my attachment keeps me going back. My experience with T1 completely changed me, the abandonment I felt/feel was too much to bear and my coping techniques became dangerous and addictive, which T3 is helping me with now. I have been a mess for the last year and a half, and I still fight with it every day.

(for anyone who doesn't know or wants a refresher, my original post on our rupture is titled "Touch in therapy....it's gone." Should be from March, 2015. Anyway, I just wanted to share my GOOD experience, after such a bad one. I am SO happy with T3, and so glad I didn't give up therapy all together. Thanks for reading!
