Hi Falls- I'm glad I remembered your history,(and not someone else's!) and also very glad that you feel you are really making progress now. It's true- no two therapists are ever going to be the same- either as therapists, or in their dynamics with particular patients/clients. I feel very encouraged by the relationship that is developing between me and the new analyst- in part, because it is not as emotional and intense as the one I had with the previous one- which really did spin out of control on his part, I think. The previous analyst thought I had an Ego State Disorder and severe PTSD. The new one doesn't think so much in terms of Ego States, and seems much more flexible and open. He would like me to talk about whatever I want, (and I will also talk about things I don't want!), but I think it would be hard to get a diagnosis out of him. And he has telephoned ME twice in three months to say that he is out of town, and to give me his weekend number. Just knowing that he cared enough to do that is such a good feeling. I never call them, but still..
