A Broken Update

unbrokenunbrokenMember
I've seen my new T for about 5 sessions now and everything is going really well. I struggled with things until a few days ago when I felt myself finally give up on OldT. Once I let my new T in, though, it was an amazing/incredible feeling. She gets me. She gets attachment. Most recently we've had some out of session contact through email/text that has made me feel so incredible. I finally found the T that I should have had in the first place.

Thanks all for the support when I was very down and lost. It really helped me to keep up hope. Smiler

I really believe that she is the best thing for me at this moment. She's so loving and warm, and that's the extreme polar opposite of my old T. She was so distant and tried her hardest to keep me at arms distance. I feel almost scared though to feel so close to NewT already. I've been hurt, but at the same time it feels too good to not allow it to happen.

The thing that gets me is that she's so kind and considerate and she builds me up instead of breaking me down. There was this HUGE black cloud over me for 6 months. I'd get rained on, and lightning would strike and almost paralyze me. Old T was an awful storm to weather! BUT, new T is like sunshine...daylight. It's fascinating to me how we can love someone so much and they can be so incredibly BAD for us. I am so glad that I got out of it, even if it was forced. I am in a much better place now.

Good luck to all who are experiencing therapeutic transitions at the moment. It's hard, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I'm happy! Smiler

Oh, tell me about it! The people in my life I thought I "loved" the most usually turned out to be terrible for me. I finally came to realize that I was confusing the feeling of love with the feeling of inconsolable longing. Love is supposed to feel *pleasant.* Imagine that!

Be a Patron Member

Get psychotherapy help to make your therapy easier and better.



Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
