Its awesome that you are able to continue to see your regular T too.
Let us know how it goes!

For amyjay and anyone else interested in how my first visit with the new trauma therapist went....
Oh man. Scary. Nerve racking. But amazing. So different than what I have experienced in the past. I felt seen. Maybe it is just because I am somewhat ready to be seen. I have to allow it so save my own self. It will be a long road. But I feel hopeful.
In 2012 I feel like I was somewhat thrown into the deep end with my first EMDR therapist. I didn't know how to say no. I didn't understand how much I dissociated allllllll my life. And I also felt so afraid of EMDR. In some ways it was just as traumatizing as other icky things in life.
New T said we are not even going to contemplate EMDR or any other somatic type of stuff until we have gotten to know each other a little bit, and that I feel safe enough to move into the deeper end.
Thanks for being here.
