In reply to Seeing a specialist as well as my T? Anyone?, posted by Racer on December 16, 2004, at 20:02:27
I've had mixed results w/this and ended up putting myself in a bad place. Definitely my issue,not theirs. I have a T, Pdoc and had an EMDR T for the csa. The Pdoc actually does therapy w/me too, but I only see him monthly or so and we usually end up talking about different things, but it does get confusing. He was recommended by my T, but she doesn't always agree w/him. The EMDR T was recommended by my T too, but I would often spend too much time explaining to my regular T what happened w/my EMDR T (more and more of my session, really).
But what really happened was that I got myself into trouble, all mixed up and fell apart. I was always analytical and not emotional w/my T; I had the emotions w/the EMDR but I didn't feel safe enough to let them out; and my Pdoc sometimes confused me. My feelings were misplaced everywhere and I began (and still do) to have trust issues w/my regular T. I don't think this is transference this time and I feel very alone.
I've put my EDMR on hold until I can sort this out. I can't handle all three of them; I can't balance or reconcile the three of them or their views.
So, it hasn't worked well for me--but don't let that stop you!
