> this result makes me very happy for you HF. I'm glad you took the time and considerable emotional effort to bring this up in therapy.
I am too, I was really nervous but it was so worth it. I feel so relieved about it.
> i am especially glad that your T was able to address your concerns.
Yes, he responded better than I thought he would. I am learning a lot from him.
> It's so easy to get all worked up and be tempted to just bolt from a situation. I think this temptation was especially acute here, where you had already been so hurt by one therapist.I do that a lot even on Babble, I get upset and want to bolt like heck. I have done that a lot in my life when I felt threatened or upset. I guess I didn't feel safe. I as so worried about getting hurt again with my new T, I wanted to make sure I knew what he was feeling.
> You are brave to face this and continue to work to come to a resolution with your new T and your old T.
Thank you so much for saying that, I do feel so relieved about it.
> I'm thrilled for you. Good luck with your prof.
Oh, my professor thing went awesome! He asked me to be part of his future research team! I guess it is lot of grunt work, but in the end I will get to present at the APA conventions and get published too!He said that will help me to get into grad school. He thinks with my grades and personality I shouldn't have too much of a problem picking what school I want to go to. I was really flattered about that. He was interested in what I had to say about EMDR too.
Then the dept chair told me that I can go on a tangent from his stuff and possiblly do my own study! Get funding and everything. I am excited about that. Then there is this other professor that wants to use me too, once I take statistics. I am so happy about this, things are looking up for me. For once I feel I have something to look forward to in my future. Thanks seldom for being here for me, it means a lot.
