In reply to Glimmers of beyond ... what next?, posted by crushedout on November 11, 2004, at 23:15:27
Hi Crushed,
I think you're doing great. And it seems like this is one you're gonna have to feel your way through, day by day--which you're doing now and doing well at.
My gut feel on seeing your first therapist is that, if you can stay away, the longer the better, it may help. I think time/distance can truly help. And it seems like you make better headway away from your first therapist. And seeing her again may undo that?
What do you think?

> I guess things have been going pretty well. The break from my T (for all those who know *my* saga) seems to be doing me good. I feel like I'm getting small glimmers of life beyond her. It's like she's cast this huge shadow over my life and the light is now only *beginning* to peek through the cracks. Maybe. It's kind of a relief.

Do I need to have someone else lined up first? Do I need to be in therapy? What do I tell T1? Do I lay blame or is that not helpful? Do I express anger at her for her failing me, for hurting me, for being so careless with my fragile self? Do I do it in a letter?
