I've also made a decision about my therapist. I really like him---but I've been seeing him for three years now and I don't feel we have done anything. I had left my other therapist because we became good friends. The therapist I see now was associated with my pdoc's office and also heads a cancer institute and has a private practice. he's a great person and for the first few months he said we couldn't work on anything because he was just trying to keep me alive. Then I would ask what we were going to work on and he would say I wasn't ready yet. A few months ago I finally talked to my doctor about it and he said I needed to confront my therapist and tell him I really wanted to know what we were working on. I did just that quite a few times and always got vague answers. True---a lot of the time, he was basically just keeping me from suicide-----but I knew we should really be working on something. I'm rambling.......sorry.
Today I called another therapist that I had heard about and I have an appointment with her on Friday. She understands that I am kind of' shopping around' and she is only going to charge me my co-pay (since I'm sure my insurance will not cover while I shop!) I thought I would see her a couple of times and see how it is. The timing is good because my therapist is out of town and had cancelled my appointment this week and I don;t have another appointment with him till the end of the month. I see my doctor on the 25th and will ask him what he thinks too. There may be someone else he thinks would be a better fit.
Sorry this was so long. The cd from my last concert was in tonight,so I'm going to go listen to it and then get to bed.
