[QUOTE="Steely, post: 468598, member: 3301"] I thought a lot about this last night. I am in desperate need of counseling, and yet it is not just what the therapist said to me that makes me not want to go back - it is also the fact that she was not willing to be open minded enough to even consider what had happened to me was the truth. MY truth. It doesn't matter if she clinically believed me or could scientifically prove there were no side effects - for me it was the fact that she said I was paranoid, i.e. discounted my reality. The other thing is that I had such a close bond with E. in Dallas, that I think this is really hindering me getting to trust a new therapist. I could go find another one, and just browse the market, but how exhausting is that. And regardless I would have to start completely over with every single detail of my life, and why I react the way I do to certain things certain ways, etc. There are some things I have never told another person besides E. NO ONE. And I am pretty sure I cannot tell them to someone new. Or if I was able to get to that level of trust, it would take years. The dealbreaker is that the things I only felt comfortable to tell E. I still have nightmares about and am traumatized by - I still need help processing those things [I]now[/I] not 7 years from now. It is a real catch 22. I called her and asked if we could try Skype again. I need her wisdom. I don't know what else to do. Does this make any sense? [/QUOTE]
