"You can come here for 50 years. I don't care what level you are at. It doesn't matter how much better you are. You are so much more than the symptoms that you present with. You can see me for 50 more years."
![]() Only 50 more???? lol Hey, in 50 years I'll be 77 and T will be over 100. Well, I guess it can still work. |

I'm glad you felt so cared for! My T made a similar comment once, and it still sticks with me. It highlights that the crux of therapy is not reaching a certain point of "better," but simply creating and sustaining a relationship.

LOL hangingon
My T is female and told me she is there for me for an open-ended time. If she hadn't said that already, I might have been tempted to say to her "You know, this site I go to had a post where someone's T said..." and then ask how many years she is giving me! ![]() |

I saw my T for 9 years, then didn't see her for 9 then saw her for nine more which ended in 2005 when we both retired. I told her I'd be finding another therapist in 2014 :-)

Pink... your T provides you with really nice reassurances--that so cool. Does he just do this at random intervals or do you ask him for it? Do you tend to give the same reassurances to your own patients?

Maybe it is about establishing, sustaining, and then allowing it to fade without negativity, so that if you need it again you can bring it back.

He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry, which is good because most psychiatrists are in dire need of better training. He was trained old-school too, when they used to teach psychiatrists forms of psychotherapy. ![]() My T is only about 61. I don't think I would like a much younger T. I hope my T. makes it to another 50 years also, but I also hope that I don't need therapy in another 50 years. ![]() I said it in another thread, but I think you have a good therapist Pinksoil. I hope you don't forget your deal; he's counting on you. </font>
