I'm looking for a new T. I've been out of therapy for 6 years. Probably at least 2 of those years it's been long overdue. My old T isn't an option for various reasons so I'm looking for a new one. I've found a guy based in my city and I've sent an email off to him. He replied this morning and I read all his rules and his style and blah blah. Seems a good fit, he's a trauma specialist, a CPTSD one at that.
But, I'm a cynical old soul. He seems to have alphabet soup after his name and I'm kind of struggling to believe that most of it isn't mumbo jumbo nonsense. It all checks out but I'm struggling a little with the fact he seems to have specialised in trauma; fair enough. But he appears to have so much training, in all sorts of techniques and be members of so many different things that I'm wondering if he actually has any method at all?
Or is it really just that he is very well qualified post-grad and has done all this because he feels a one size fits nobody approach isn't the way to do it. Therefore he's done everything he reasonable can do in order to tailor the therapy experience? I dunno.
I know nobody here can answer that, but what I'm really asking is, would you be cynical too? or see it as a positive?
