> How come you got such a short-term therapist?
She is a councellor at uni. Nothing to do with community mental health.
>I thought they were at last trying to find a really good person for you.
Found someone. Now am just waiting to see whether they will agree to fund it or not. It isn't a lot of money really. Cheaper than it would be to send me to Ashburn Hall (inpatient treatment) or even to work with a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist from within the service.
>So, she's just a stop-gap until you find out if you're funded for a more knowledgeable person?
Yeah.
> Will you find out about that soon?
Hopefully p-doc will have news on Tuesday. Don't know whether he will or not...
>And what is it about all these professionals terminating and leaving? They are supposed to know that it's very traumatizing to do that to anyone.
I dunno. I dunno. I guess they have all been CBT therapists who have had to justify what they were doing with me to their supervisors. And they didn't know what to do with me. And they burnt out with me. Over and over.
> you just need one really good chance
I hope so.
I hope thats it.
And I hope I get that chance.Thanks.
