Well, that was a ...painful session. To the extent that I'm going to start T shopping...

Perhaps Dr. T's increased Covid empathy had a 6-month limit...

Ugh, I'm sorry LT. It's so painful when therapists disappoint. I, at least, get all muddled in longing and attachment and transactional relationships and desire and it hurts like hell.

That being said, maybe this is an opportunity for you to find someone skilled in attachment work, someone who can skillfully navigate transference? You deserve that, LT, someone who can work with you as you are.

Thanks, Chihiro. Yes, so much of this is longing and attachment stuff. Like it triggers all these other things. I think Dr. T has trouble getting that, where this isn't all just about the email...


I just emailed a few T's from Psychology Today who sounded like they could potentially be the type of therapist I might need right now. A couple even take my insurance! Which I assume may mean I could only do a session a week, but I don't know...
