I'll update you all sometime this week or weekend on how that went.
I had a great connection to a different T, who was a guest speaker in one of my classes today.
She was talking about overcoming CSA and PTSD and such. Some of the things she was saying were hitting me and my non verbals must have been showing it (I didn't cry though). I made a certain eye contact with the guest speaker T many times during her discussion and it was the "I know you know" type of gaze/eye contact that I had with my former therapist. I don't know how to describe it other than that. At the end of the presentation I had the guest T autograph my copy of her book. She said she thought I looked like I needed a hug too. I said I did and we hugged. That was sooo awesome! What type of guest speaker does that?...except the cool T type!
I just had to share that story. Oh ya...The guest T even gave out her home phone and e-mail just in case we want to talk or discuss her book in further detail.
Wish me luck tomorrow on my new T and that appointment to deal with my test anxiety. I wonder if I'll connect or if it will not be like that with this person.
