> I do not know for certain, as I am not a T, but I do think it complicates (and/or contaminates) the therapy if you are to work with 2 therapists. You would definitely need to tell each about the other, and they could guide you accordingly. Good Luck. I hope someone else on this board has more informed answers.
Thanks for your thoughts. I know that there is something about how seeing more than one person at a time can lead to confusion etc. I do see that this may be more pronounced in my case because decisions need to be made whether it is okay for me to talk about the voices or not, how communications from them will be received etc. I can see that it would be counter-productive if one T were to attempt to 'shape them away' while another attempted to work with and through them.
It is kind of hard for me, though, because of my experience of working with one person and then something happens and I end up with nothing. I have decided to write to my p-doc and get some of this out. I don't want to mess up our relationship because I can't get over stuff that has happened with past T's. But then it is hard as what has happened with past T's has compounded the situation of when I was a kid.
I should tell him. I feel bad thinking that he only agreed to work with me because nobody else will and so he feels sorry for me. I should tell him about the councellor from uni. I would rather see him in the sense that I have more faith that he knows what he is up to, but then I have more faith in her ability to see me regularly and it seems as though she actually does want to work with me.
Honesty is the best policy.
Good luck to me
