I think being "ok" with her is the most you can hope for in the very beginning stages of getting to know each other. I hope that you're able to build trust with her and I'm glad you were able to get out of the house as well.CimmerianInkhttp://www.bipolardid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-2092587685220165242012-01-08T07:54:18.367+00:002012-01-08T07:54:18.367+00:00Congratulations on making it out shopping. With s...Congratulations on making it out shopping. With so much going on that takes a lot of energy. I noticed that I describe things physically first. It is like getting the lay of the land. I thought your description is very understandable. I really get the challenge of 'naming' counselors. I tried to find a name for my new counselor. After a year I still call him NewCounselor. You'll get it sorted out.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083142637240943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-30699907819296428292012-01-08T00:09:51.378+00:002012-01-08T00:09:51.378+00:00Could the new T help you with your feelings about ...Could the new T help you with your feelings about T leaving, keeping it manageable...or do psychologists not do that kind of thing?<br /><br />She sounds OK. Though I hate those 'intake interviews', they feel so cold and impersonal to me. <br /><br />I'm like you with the depression - it's not the same as for people who suffer from depression as their primary problem. I switch into and out of it. <br /><br />I guess the problem with insurance provided help is you don't get to choose who you see, so it's the luck of the draw. Good you like her as a person - that is really vital I think.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741118126298552722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576170691178435057.post-86570837692834544612012-01-07T22:45:11.082+00:002012-01-07T22:45:11.082+00:00You did very well with meeting the new psychologis...You did very well with meeting the new psychologist. Sounds like the psychologist did alright meeting you, too.<br /><br />Structural dissociation is the more palatable interpretation of DID -- the terms I use (ANP=apparently normal personality, EP=emotional personality) come from that work. My first psychotherapist did not like it when I tried to use ANP/EP. Frankly, it seems like everyone has their preferred language. I wish therapists were less dissociated in their research knowledge so we could all have a coherent conversation.JustElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576780670208531276noreply@blogger.com
