Found a new T...

elsewhererevisitedelsewhererevisitedMember
but can't stop crying over old T and everything that's happened since.
I just met new T today, she's familiar with Somatic Experiencing (Larry Heller, Healing Developmental Trauma). Body oriented psychotherapy. Scared to death, but I think I've done all the talking for a life time.
I know you're all gonna say 'well done' etc., but for now I feel more sad than ever before.
Also have to pay for it myself (a lot!), so maybe I'll start asking for food parcels to be sent. Roll Eyes

First impressionL she's a sweet person and seemed to get me. But still...

I'm so happy for you Elsewhere. Especially that you find her nice and similar approach to your old T.

I understand the sad feelings with it though - perhaps it's processing the ending with your old T (ending as in unexpected rupture due to her being off sick unexpectedly).

Also relate to having to pay a lot to see a T. I do too. Some weeks I pay the same as my mortgage payments for the treatment I need and I'm still recovering financially from 3 months off sick without any income from the start of the year.

I see it this way - I don't really have a choice - I NEED therapy - a T and a Pdoc - like I need oxygen. If I end up losing my house because I pay for private care, but care that is more effective, then it's just what I have to do. Cos for me, to use the public system would be like signing my own death warrant such is the quality of care in it.

When do you see yr T next? Will you be seeing her weekly, fortnightly?

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)
