and what if this idea was from the therapist themselves?
feeling skeptical but given circumstances beyond control the necessity to seek new therapist has arisen.
have the good fortune of therapist and pdoc who are in frequent communication and use team approach whenever called for. has made huge difference in last few years w/ advances in healing and understanding supported by their team mentality.
not looking forward to interviewing new ppl for this next leg of the long healing journey.
therapist said that perhaps a team approach of two therapists might be useful for those of us w/ deep trauma(s) in our lives.
have read much over the years of therapists not being keen on this idea. makes sense and agree for most part. too easy to segment out information and be selective in what's shared where....even knowing they'll be in touch cousulting on the case.
but to have two separate therapists each week working on one's case and treat, in their own styles and approaches, the client as a team? separate but in touch, on par, and like minded enough to manage the challenges that come up in working w/ deep trauma survivors.
skeptical but curious.
still in shock over abrupt changes that make continuing the work w/ this therapist of past several years not really an option any longer. at least not the level of work we had been attending to over the past few years anyway.
it took so long to get to this point of even trusting this therapist and achieving this level of work. so hard to imagine rebuilding that level of trust w/ someone new. how long before the trust permeates all levels? took years w/ the current therapist. patience, support and stability are very key things for deep trauma survivors and when one of those things goes out of balance it is a deep blow to the fragile psyche and more fragile healing parts.
not doing therapy is not an option. take time and interview new ppl as solo therapist or try the approach of two therapist who agree to co-treat our case?
it hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts so damn much.
