For those who see more than one T is it awkward to talk about the other? A couple weeks ago I spoke to T about it feeling like I was seeking out a competitor (My degree is in business). She explained it wasn't like that because she does not do EMDR and she honestly thinks it will help me. I emailed her after appointment with 2t she said she was glad I updated her she didn't email me because she wanted me to reach out if I wanted to. But it seems weird..am i worrying to mich?

It took me a few months to get the hang of it, what type of issues and topics they were each better at, etc. It was very awkward to talk about them to each other at first. I frequently felt like I was going to get in trouble, like talking to daddy about something mommy said. But it's ok now. There have been a few times when one of them has demonstrated annoyance or incredulousness about something the other has said, but it doesn't happen much and it doesn't bother me anymore when it does. They are separate people and I use them for separate-but-related purposes.

That's kind if how I feel...like I'm tattleing on the other. I briefly mentioned it to T and she said it will all be fine. If we run into issues we will talk about it... but still.

When I was seeing two of them (stopped the second one in January due to teaching schedule and just never started back up regularly) -
I never talked to one about the other. It was not something that I would have found useful nor was it the point of hiring two of them for me.

the only reason i could ever forsee me having 2 is to get over the attachment to the first lol

i'd be too confused, i think. trying to remember who i told what to etc. i like just the one, although i wish i could see him more than i do

I saw three different ts at one point. At present I see two. I see them for different purposes; T1 often asks about what I am doing with T3. I feel free to talk to him about what is going on with T3, including when I am upset with her. I don't talk to T3 about T1 much; partly because what I do with T3 has to do with childhood, partly because I am ashamed of how attached I am to T1.

I don't worry about what I have said to whom. I figure if they need/want more detail they can ask for it.

I have not discerned any feeling of competition between them. For me, it is like seeing a GP and a specialist. If I think that either needs to know something about what the other is doing, I just say it.

The only reason I am seeing T is foe EMDR. T is not trained for it. So I am seeing 2T specifically foe EMDR we hope I get past the wall T and I have run into a put my trauma.

I don't exactly have 2. I have a primary T and a psychiatrist I see for therapy once a month. I feel like my T and I stay so down and focused on the issues that it is helpful to pull back and look at what we are doing from a bigger picture from my psyc. Plus it gives me a place to discuss my relationship with my T with a neutral 3rd party. That has been invaluable.

T used the PCP and specialist example. I won't be seeing them for 2 different reason only foe EmdrT's experience.
