ok, for those of you that's been patient and followed my drama of finding a T. i finally started "officially" therapy yesterday with the 'perfect' T. the bad news is he will probably only be available for about 4 months. now on the legal standfront he was VERY ethical about this whole issue, but i made it VERY clear to him that i am willing to jump in if he is willing to take me on. he agreed.
-HE IS AWESOME!
he actually 'gets' my idiocyrocies. all my oddities. he is clearly an open person. he doens't try to hide his knowledge, although i feel him holding back a bit, i can easily read that what he holds back is out of necessity/professionalism. (i think we all discussed empathy on this board before-and how i 'read' people) well the good news is i can read enough to know that i trust him completely- but it's not intrusive to me. that's one of the things that attracted me to him, his internal 'essance' does not intrude me.
-it seems like we're on a similar plane (except he's VERY smart-and experienced enough that he can guide me through this cr@p mess i've gotten myself into).
-he's the one that let me draw during my assessment. he has looked at a couple of my drawings that i don't normally show people and gotten into conversations about it and what i think it means etc.
GOD above thank you...he is great!
-of course it's my luck that he'll probably only last 4 months, but he's such a fit that i'd rather have 4 months with a great T, than 1 year with a bad or so-so one.ok, feeling REALLY good right now. he wants to see me 3 times next week! i told him givin the time 'issue' i want to get started right away and pump through this. so he suggested three days!
Finally someone who is smart enought to ask the right questions, and see what's fallen between the cracks. someone i feel so comfortable with that i feel no need to lie or 'cover' with him. i in no way feel judged.
i just never thought i could find this.Finally something positive to Actually be happy about.
"ready or not" B2c.
