more tales of a therapy nothing
Feb. 9th, 2008 01:14 pmSo..
after thinking about it long and hard, i decided not to stick with the original therapist. sometimes, nothing is better than something. if i'm going into therapy knowing that she is prone to focusing on herself (the language correction thing, the "i have to do that too" in response to my complaints about the structure of education) it's just not what i want right now.
of all the places where i have to police making sure my needs are being met, therapy should be among the last of them.
so i called/emailed back to say as such. skipping over everything and explaining we weren't a good click. i re-stated information as far as fees/schedule goes. emailed the quasi-outline of what i'm hoping for in a therapist. and was told sorry, the referral place can't help me.
they sent me 2 links, one of which clearly states on the home page that they are not a match for me fee or schedule wise. (or style wise, but now who's counting?) the other place, i called, can't help me directly, but they did give me one referral to someone who *might* work. but i have to contact them and have a conversation, first.
this can wait until monday.
the guy at the second referral source wanted to know why i only want every other week. there are lots of reasons, but for the most part, i'm just not *there* for every week. i'm not about to set myself up for failure. his response was something about the return being proportional to the investment. and what? i'm giving you all i've got here (captain).
therapying should not be such a hot mess.
i'm considering yoga as a back up plan. i have suggestions from a reliable source. i'm not opposed to supplementing yoga in addition to therapy, if that works, too. i just don't know.
