In reply to starting my therapy break, posted by bent on January 31, 2006, at 17:24:09
Would it be wrong of me to talk to someone else before I go back to my T? I plan to talk about everything this break has brought up for me when I go back to my T at the end of the month. But before then could I talk to someone else about how I feel, about how I am weighing the pros and cons of my therapy, about how I will go about talking to my T when I go back? I have two people in mind that I could talk to. Both are therapists and both know me and know that I am in rather intense therapy. One is my EAP therapist at work. I have talked to him a few times over the past five years. The other is a therapist that works in the same practice where my T does. I got to know her because my fiancé and I did some couples work with her. I like her a lot and I am sure she’d have no problem meeting with me. And I am sure she would not let my T know I talked to her. In a way all this seems sneaky though. Like I am cheating on my therapist! Or talking about her behind her back…but at the same time I feel like I need to make the decision based on what I need, not how I think she’d feel. She may not ever have to know about it. Ultimately, my mind won’t be at rest until I talk directly to her (my T) but I feel like I need a little guidance regarding the larger picture of where I am with therapy. I don’t know what to do. If it weren’t so hard I’d quit all together. Any thoughts?
