(I'm playing that song 'Rescue Me' in my head right now ... as 'w/o my even participating', my life is being 'messed with' this day. I was nearly killed by my sliding shower door earlier.)
When I moved out here, I tried to make it very clear that I wanted 'insight oriented' or 'psychodynamic' therapy. Guess they just pretended to listen.
I dis'd the first T as she was nowhere near that. I am still w/ the second T, but she is not there either. They've obviously no Ts that do this type of therapy in the county system or they are thinking I'll just go along w/ whatever they throw my way.
I have a Medicare Advantage Plan and am calling an old DBT T tomorrow re: any Ts she may know of 'out here in the boondocks' or maybe 'her' or 'another recommendation'. I have a couple of names as am in a huge metro area but they don't even participate in insurance of any kind.
Yes, I've felt I had a need for this kind of therapy before you said anything about it. But ya' know, I've heard more than a few replies to my inquiries, saying 'it's old school'. Sounds like an excuse to me. Then again, I guess someone could argue against it. Any takers out there? Like said, I've not gone there.
I've never had it. I think I probably would benefit a lot from it (Too many times I feel like I'm in the dark about what's bothering me.) and probably would cry buckets from it. (I hope that it doesn't increase suicidal ideation too much.)
I appreciate your perspective. I think I was sort of even waiting for someone to say what you've said. Maybe you sensed that too.
