Got a psychologist i see him thursday

Called him up he takes my insurance but not my secondary insurance to its still $27 co-pay but he seems really smart and knowledgeable from what i gather. Hope I gain a lot from it. I feel I’m ready to turn the page in life so nows a good time to see a new one-on-one. Start fresh.

For those who don’t know, i stopped seeing my trauma/EMDR therapist last Tuesday because i felt my work there was done. Maybe some people have terrible traumas that take years of therapy to get over but I felt we were going in circles the last 6 weeks or so i saw her. I had enough tapping and TAT pose for one lifetime… I think also the Zoloft helps with the anxiety/hypervigilance symptoms of abuse.

When I got verbally abused in the workplace in august/September whenever it was I definitely needed more trauma therapy because that was triggering and disturbing for me, but i really don’t think id be triggered by events like that anymore. I’d just say SCREW YOU now.

FTR my therapist gave me great insights that i will carry with me the rest of my life. Like “everybody is doing their best” and “everyone has their own issues” and “be empathetic”…compassion and acceptance is the things she taught me the most. There was things I knew already but she really drilled/engrained them into my soul… But then I felt like she exhausted most of her unique wisdom. There were a lot of things i knew that she didn’t. She wasn’t a specialist in mental illness so i need something more aimed towards that. I don’t regret it at all. I left her not a minute too soon or too late.

Hope it works out for you and you get some good things out of it!
