I was referred to my current trauma T 3 years ago after seeing a CBT for 10 years. She was referred to me by my Pdoc for brainspotting. Brainspotting really appealed to me because it is supposed to be faster. My T is a good trauma T and has quite a waitlist so I have been ambivalent about quitting. The talk therapy helps but I don't think that I am capable of brainspotting and feel like I am being gaslighted when she says that I am doing it. I don't feel any differently before or after the supposed brainspotting.

I have been offered another job in a different state and plan on telling T when I see her on Tuesday that I am not coming back due to the job change even though I won't be moving for a month or two.

I would like to tell her that she has helped me and I know that I have more work to do but I would like to avoid the brainspotting stuff altogether. I think that it is total BS or at least it was for me. She may question me about it. I don't want to lie but I don't want her to try and convince me that it worked for me when it didn't.

If you find her a good T perhaps you could ask her not to use that particular technique? You could also say that you would prefer not to discuss its efficacy - you just don't want it - finished. I think that is your prerogative. If she is a good T she should be ok with that.
Thanks for this!
