> I don't think that you should blame yourself that so many therapists have worked out so far.
Thanks. It is just hard because... I want to know why. It must be something about me. Something about me that makes it hard to find a good fit. But what? What is it? I don't understand...
> Because of the heavy theoretical bent where you are, your therapists have usually been either willing but untrained, or trained in CBT/DBT which you've already done and squeezed all the helpfulness you can get from that approach.
Yeah. Though that being said I had one therapist who was terrific. Really amazingly terrific. Maybe it was the novelty of the DBT approach... I think it was more than that, though. We were just a really terrific fit. Maybe it is that... I've experienced that, and that is what I want. A really good fit. So I can start to do some work.
> I wish you had the freedom of choice to try something different.
Thank you. There are therapists of other orientations. It is just that I'm dealing with publicly funded systems. I had a look to try and find someone with experience treating DID and cost prohibits. I mean it really does prohibit. Their student rates... Were still cost prohibitive. And they said that was the best they could do. So back to the public health system and short term therapy with councellors or... Now there should be some CBT therapists somewhere... I don't know that I have the strength. I should write something for my t though. I will ask her for her email address. That is my mission for next week. To ask her for her email address. I can get my concerns out that way...
