Hi MsC,

I would also like to encourage you to keep trying to find a therapist that works for you. I was fortunate in when I first sought out a T two years ago I felt comfortable with the first one I tried, and have stuck with her ever since. Therapy, although difficult at times. can be so rewarding when you feel your T "gets you". And you feel comfortable enough with him/her to slowly begin to open up.

If I remember correctly we are both struggling with CPTSD. Obviously there are different types of therapy. My T utilizes CBT, which is a relatively new form of therapy (about 10yrs old). I don't know if you have tried it but it has worked well for me, and has received praise in psychology circles. Perhaps if you put together a list of attributes/qualities you are looking for in a T it will help you to find a good match.

None of us deserve to feel the way we do. Only when we find a T we are comfortable with can we begin down the road to recovery. I hope you can find it within yourself to continue that search, and that you will continue to reach out to others here for support. In the end we all share similar goals. Take care...
