hey @Dreamy thought id say i get ya totally as my last 6 weeks i lost continuity of 2 psychologists one ive had 30 sessions with who taught me what safe space is and other sira one i had 42 sessions with over last 2 years as she has moved onto doimg assesments for autism and adhd type things.
new sira psychologist seemed ok and was handpicked ny previops one as shes qualified for emdr and as we spoke of my psychiatrist wants me to do once i have the tools and ability to use them properly.
she seemed ok and said same thing about cbt in my case as my safe psychologist who i trust entirely so ok i give her a chance second session i didnt get any off signals either.
then next ones cancelled coz sick, then yjey ring to book in next sessions and i get a bit frazzelled by it i cant answer what day i want to anything in december and next month shes on annual leave and that was me overloadedi was just following like a good boy but at that point yeah ok just didnt sit good and i was in the similiar situation as you described and ended up saying ya know what f##$ that you know i your replacing ,,,,,, and last week was my last time seeing ,,,,,, until she gets her own practice running over coming months so your it and from what i see moving forward just looks like a fkn joke so i dont know what im sposed to say or what you expect me to say but im hearing you say im on my own for 6 weeks and that doesnt feel like support at all.
they are going to organise a care team for me while shes away so im wondering if thats going to be someone that actually reads up on who i am and how not good things get if im triggered.
this one doesnt realise im well aware of what works for me in therapy and she doesnt get same version of me as my last psychologists did just because she has same plaque above her door.
Trust is not something i want or need to give and reading rooms for me was about survival not getting a grade and its quite telling where you stand if a few significant things are deliberately said in session and next session no recognition after a calculated repetition... its an advantage being the client at the start.
i hope your initial sense of the dynanics was accurate as it may well be the case.
i think its a ridiculous process every 6 sessions have to go and ask for another 6 please when its pretty bloody obvious on session number 40 its going to take more than that for me to discern if im even going to be vulnerable with a new therapist.
sorry just noticed im preaching to the choir you may of been dealing with the same system your whole life and i only had to since nov 2023
