Happy with Therapist but

He's unwell. Practically dying, and I miss my dbt group. My case manager wants me get an ALS worker, and drop my other groups. But that's my social network of people my age that I see regularly, sort of.

If I get a therapist from this particular place I can rejoin the dbt group. That's my most beneficial group. It's for the graduates of the dbt course, kind of a refresher, keep our skills sharp. But my therapist I see now is awesome! However he's sickly. And the other place therapists just aren't as good. However I was more stable under their care, because it's a huge support network.

I'm really wondering if I should switch therapists? I have one I was seeing over there, so I know what I'd be in for. I actually need to take notes in therapy he's just that knowledgeable. I really like his technique better. I complained about the type of therapy I was getting at the other place. Told her I needed more input.

Would you switch great for good but with more supports? Or stick with great? All my therapies are changing and I may want to revert back to one of my group therapies because it was very helpful.

Well, if he's that unwell it could be you won't have the option of seeing him for that long. I would therefore consider taking advantage of what he can offer you for the time being, since a similar opportunity might not come around again. Sounds like the other place and groups will still be there if you decide to go back, so there's no need to make a hasty decision.

Personally, I find group support far more helpful than individual therapy.
