to start therapy again. When I finished group last April I didn't go back to individual therapy, but a month or so back things started getting bad agian so I went back to my old T for some advice. She said I need long term therapy, which she can't offer as she is retiring next year so said to try a government supported therapy service with low fees (I'm a student).
I went for my assessment there yesterday - it was with a T that only does assessments. She treated me like an idiot and kept making symathetic faces at me and telling me how awful this and that must've been, yuk.
She had to talk to her collegues to see whether it was 'safe' to start therapy with me (as things can get worse before they get better etc) - but if I was so bad that therapy was unsafe I have no idea what would happen. Anyway, it seems it is safe and I have been put on a 3 month waiting list, I dont know whether that is for medium term or long term therapy.
I'm really hoping the T I get allocated is better than this one. It took me a year or so to trust my old T, I'm hoping it doesn't take that long with this one. I wish I had enough money to choose my own therapist!
