Dilemma - T Has Offered To Help Me Find Someone Else

[hithere]

Can you get stable? Do you feel that's a possibility? If you can, I think that with time you will get distant from the trauma again, and closing the lid on pandora's box will be possible. I completely understand not being able to do trauma work any longer. There are other things you can pursue that don't involve trauma. Really sorry you are having a hard time. I'm glad you are able to resist self-harm during this time of losing your therapist. Two and half years is a long time for any relationship. I know it's very hard.

NHS services can be difficult to navigate. I think it is worth saying that therapists in the UK often (not always) operate under very different boundaries to therapists in other parts of the world and often have much stricter protocols around disclosure, time boundaries etc. It is just a different culture and some of that is set by the NHS and the way that services are structured.

I know you don't trust your CPN but it might be worth going for another assessment and asking for a different work and a fresh pair of eyes. I hope you get some support.
