Changing To A Different Therapist

[nor]

I started out with a Therapist who was a certified social worker. After a few years, she referred me to a psychiatrist for medication adjustments. I saw him every two weeks for what started as 1/2 hour, but graduated into an hour each time. We started out mainly discussing the medication process, but went onto other things.

I eventually stopped seeing the T (for a few reasons), and have been with psychiatrist ever since. I believe, for me, it was a wise decision. My insurance covers him just as much as they did the therapist.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Hi sunnydaze, yeah, I'm feeling better. Thanks! Again, glad to hear you have a good T that cares!!! Do you see a diffrence between having a M/F T or P? I found mine just looking through who my insurance accepts and thought she'd be good. Turns out she is, I like her, and she has a sense of humor, which I always appreciate! I don't see that it would matter much to me, just depends on what/who your comfortable with, but do in general notice any diffrence?

Hello Cyper,
I had a visit w/ my T yesterday. He feels, I am doing real well. We did some biofeedback and he said I relax and show great improvement almost immediately when he plays the tapes. He thinks, I am better I guess than how I see myself. He had me write down all the tramatic things I could remember from my past that I went through.
He feels that is a sign of healing and me posting in this forum and giving advise is also showing healing signs.
As far as your ? on P or T. I like going to T's. As far as male or female, I have always had greater help and felt more comfortable w/ males. They seem to be more compassionate and genuinely caring. I saw a few woman T's and right away they tried to tell me, I didn't tell my mom about the abuses I went through because perhaps, I enjoyed it. ABSURD! I was 7 @ my earliest memory.
Hope your journey to getting well doesn't last so long that you don't enjoy life. I missed out on so many years.
