It's so amazing! Just what you needed, but you weren't even looking for a new therapist- or maybe you were. This one is definitely a better fit- he seems to know much more than your other therapist about what you need him to know. But the most important thing is that he is just right for you! And you knew it right away! I guess he did, too. He knew that you came in for medication, and then therapy, and real help for you just started HAPPENING! Well, just amazing!
When we find good fits, we know it right away, and feel better right away, too. He, having a lot of experience, must have known you were a good fit for HIM. Even though he isn't taking new patients, he took you. It seemed like he almost asked to take you- and how wonderful that he said it would be an honour.
Not in any way to throw a wet blanket on things- but is he so old that he's going to retire in a few years? It would still be worth it to see him as often as you can, but it would be good to know so that as you are working with him, you are preparing for that. That's if it's going to happen. It was his not taking new patients that alerted me slightly. I know these therapists vary a lot- some retire at 65, and some still have full practices at 80.
I have a therapist who is a wonderful fit, also, and it is the most priceless thing that can ever happen to us. I really think that a lot of the healing that I feel going on in me is below the level of consciousness- it's because I'm sitting opposite HIM, and looking at his eyes and his face. When you find a person like that, you have just got to hang on as tightly as possible!
How great that Realme found him for you. I look forward to her returning- miss her.
