In reply to How experienced is your therapist?, posted by jane d on February 7, 2004, at 22:55:03
Well, I feel like a mule... Everyone is saying 20 +... Well, what Bubba lacks in experience, he makes up for in charm, I suppose. He just recently started practicing, about 2 years ago I think. But, again I love rookies :) I think he's a perfect fit, and though he makes mistakes he is learning, and we are learning together. I really like the fact that he's quick to admit he's wrong. And I enjoy the fact that we're really learning together. It makes this a journey we are taking together. And I know he'll always remember me. (/Not at ALL suggesting your therapists won't remember you, but he's learning a lot from me and he can use that knowledge in the future to help others.) I think that's the part I love the most. The fact that I can help others because I'm helping him learn as well. Heck yeah I'm difficult, but that helps him in the future. He said I'm the first client he's had to not have any memories of abuse and then to remember them during therapy. That means he can hopefully use the experience he's gained from me to help other clients in my situation. That's my hope anyway.... (Oh goodness, this turned into a defense of my therapist's lack of experience as well as a rant..... Am I Racer or Karen???? Oh goodness :))
