PTSDisaster
Confident
I've asked for a new therapist two weeks ago. My current therapist is not specialized and there are specialized therapists at the organisation I'm being treated. The conversation with my current therapist about requesting another one went pretty well, she understood and we agreed seeing each other every other week instead of every week until I can start with my new therapist.
Monday I received an email that I have to make an appointment with my current therapist and my coordinating therapist, and that all of our appointments will be cancelled. So yesterday I called my therapist to ask why the appointments have been cancelled. She doesn't want to treat me since I'm the one who askes for another therapist. She also said 'I never agreed to anything about seeing each other every other week, that's just what you asked and I'm not agreeing with seeing each other anymore.'. Usually I get therapy once a week, now I have to wait for 7 weeks to get this conversation with her and my coordinating psychologist to 'look at our options if anyone cán meet my wishes' and they might not even give me a specialized therapist. Eventually I managed to get 2 appointments in between this time, but I don't feel that welcome anymore. I really had to ask like 30 times to please give me an appointment because I need a professional by my side, even if we are not going to treat my ptsd together, but just for having a little stability and professional advise. I feel like they're letting me down and that I have to deal with the consequences of asking for a new therapist. I don't feel professionally approached at all. I also don't know what this appointment with my coordinating therapist is for, since my only wish is a specialized therapist.
I've been looking for other organisations but every waiting list is over a year or they even paused the waiting list because of the many patients they've got.
I don't know what to think about this, I feel a bit left behind. Thanks for reading:)
