I meet with a new therapist today in less than an hour.
I also saw current T (Ginny) this morning. For the first time in quite awhile, I left feeling good about the session. Not good because it wasnt hurtful, but good because it was actually helpful in some ways. OF COURSE this has to happen right when I've finally gotten up the courage to meet new therapists. Now I feel like I dont want to leave and dont want to go to this appt today. The leader of the DBT group I was in recommended to me that I report Anne to the licensing board - the old therapist I had who abandoned me with no termination blah blah blah. Ginny and I talked about that today and whether or not it's a good idea. Also talked about the possibility of me meeting with Anne one more time to get an explanation for what happened. Ginny thinks it may be a good idea for me but wants to talk about it a lot more and prepare myself more before I really consider doing it. She also said she'd be willing to sort of mediate before the actual appt and tell Anne what I was looking for in hopes that I could actually get it. I'd definitely have Ginny's support through it. We talked some about whether or not itd be a good idea but there's a lot more talking to be done. For once I feel supported and good about Ginny's help with this. Of course my sudden good feelings may be partially related to the very fact that I'm about to meet someone new and dont want to lose Ginny. Dont know.
Anyway.. my appt is in 35 minutes. I'm going to be honest about the fact that I see Ginny and am still debating what to do. If nothing else, I'll at least know whether this new woman is any good or not and have her in the background as a potential option.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
