Back last year when some friends here encouraged me to find a T, well it was impossible at the time. There werent any down here and i would have had to travel to the city or another are and pay for it. I had no money to pay either. A month or so later Family Services reopened and i called. Had appt for the following week and the week after saw my counsler for the first time. Took me months before i started to trust her.

She has been so wonderful to me, very caring. She tells me exactly what she thinks. One time telling me i have built a brick building around me and that we would remove a brick at a time.

I got nervous one time, overhearing some counslers talking about one of them leaving. I thought it was her saying it. When we got in the room i asked if she was leaving. She told me, nope. Said she would be there till i put her out of a job.

Anyway, she's on top of all the stuff thats been going on with me lately. Out of the blue, she called me today asking how i was doing and if need be i could come in and see her. I opted out, but thought that was very nice of her. She told me, well on monday we'll talk about that appt in the morning.

I think i'm one of the lucky ones here to have a counsler i fit with and who does care.

Just wanted ya'll to know they are out there and waiting for you to walk through their door.

Thats all. Now i feel like an idiot for writing this and want to erase it. I'm gonna post it anyway. Doubt anyone here cares to read this. Seems like most are having problems with their T's. Just thought i'd share.

I have a wonderful therapist, I often feel like I don't deserve her but dang if I am about to let go of her. Most of my fretting comes from my insecurities, I am not worthy of much of anything, or so I still tend to believe. But my therapist, I know she cares and she is there for me. I am a lot healthier now thanks to working with her than I have ever been before this.

I am glad you have a great therapist but mine is the bestest!!!

Hey ((chalmette))

I am glad you posted! It is so good to hear that you have found a T that you can work with.

She tells me exactly what she thinks
You sound so confident in this relationship!

Although I am one of those people who posts about ruptures, I actually have a very close relationship with T-we just fight sometimes. LOL

It's so good to hear positive things and I absolutely love that she called you out of the blue. That is awesome.

I'm glad you have a therapist that is so wonderful, and I'm glad you posted about it!!!!

I am one of the lucky ones as well....my T is so caring, patient, solid, supportive. We have our ruptures, but he is always willing to admit his part, and works really hard to reconnect.

It feels good to hear good T stories

Hey Chalmette,

I think it's great that you have a good T. And thanks for sharing.

I'm supper lucky in that I have an awesome pdoc, and T, and a really good addictions dr., although I still don't feel comfortable really openning up to her yet.

I think it's great you posted about your positive experience. I think it helps give hope to people who are having trouble, that yes, there are good therapists and helpful therapy experiences out there.
