4th therapist starts tomorrow
| Tue, 07-11-2006 - 8:38pm |
Hey everyone- I'm starting with my fourth therapist tomorrow morning. For some reason I'm just not clicking with any of them, and I'm really getting frusturated. Is it me? Am I doing something wrong? Or does it just take awhile? Does anyone have any suggestions to make it go smoothely? Advice please...
Hope you all are well.

it's not just you.
{{{{{{{{{Meg}}}}}}}}}}} I don't know how long you gave your first three therapists. But, sometimes it takes a few visits to get the impression of whether or not it's the right fit for you.
An example would be my dd16. I had her in therapy by a therapist recommended by my therapist. The therapist was a very good therapist, however, I noticed my daughter was leaving her office more distraught then she was when she went in. This was months after she had started therapy. I was blind to it, my dd didn't want to make waves, and the therapist was under the impression she was making progress.
So give this one a fair shake and see what happens. It may take more than a few visits, but hopefully this will be the one for you. I have had 4 therapists myself. The one I currently have is the best one I've had so far. Maybe 4 is the magic number...who knows. I wish you the best of luck with this new therapist. I understand your frustration and a good therapist will understand it as well and try to work through that.

My guess would be that it's not you. It is hard to find a therapist that you click with, and face it, a lot of them are just plain incompetent. Just keep trying, k?

Meg, when you get a chance, let us know how it went with your new tdoc today. I know I'm hoping for you that it went well.

Hi Traci!
It actually went really well this morning. I don't know if that's because I'm on clonazepam now and having slightly less social anxiety or if I just liked him better. He reminded me off the nice old man I saw up at college when I was sobbing saying "I just can't stay here anymore" who told me to go home and get better! :) So that's good. I just hope he can help me in 5 weeks!
Thank you for asking. How are you doing lately?
Meg
That's great Meg!!!!!!! I'm glad it went well for you!
As for me, I seem to be a little on the manic side of life, but after the lithium overdose and the ill effects of that, I think I'll take the high for a while. LOL!
My ex has, for the moment at least, decided to settle out of court. So that's a good thing. Provided he keeps his word. His track record doesn't speak highly of keeping his word, so I'll believe it when I see it. But, there's hope.
So overall, I guess I'm doing pretty good. Again, I'm really glad to hear things went so well with the new tdoc. That's fantastic news!!!!!
Hugs,
Traci
