I saw the new psychologist today and am struggling a bit about how I should feel right now. I gave her a pretty brief history about the nature of the dynamic with Ex T, however I did not share about the boundary I crossed. I also told her about my DBT therapist and the work we are doing together. I also told her about my disability and the trauma related to that. While she doesn’t want me to see two Ts at once (her and DBT T), she did seem a little hesitant that psychodynamic (her specialty) is the right route to take, even though on her Psychology Today profile she mentioned that uses CBT and other modalities too such as existential. Now she wants to talk to DBT T for a history. I am afraid she’s not going to want to work with me since I have so many co-occurring things going on. I’ve had so many psychologists and therapists assess me and give their opinions on what kind of therapy I need and I’m so tired of being referred to someone else just because there is a portion of my history that would a certain specific kind of therapy would be the ideal treatment. I just need someone to treat the whole person, but I keep getting referred out. I know none of you can diagnose me, but based on my story and what I’ve shared here, do you guys think psychodynamic would be good for me? I’m not struggling with unhealthy behaviors anymore that DBT was addressing and I feel pretty stable, so I really want to process everything going on underneath which I was hoping to do with the psychodynamic psychologist.
