Hi Sharon,
Thank you for replying to my post. Yes, I do have great insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) but that can work against me at times.
I have seen a few new therapists but none do psychodynamic therapy despite me living in a very large city.
When potential therapists ask about my insurance they say get all happy and welcoming. The insurance seriously makes me question if they want to see me or if they want the unlimited insurance benefits.
It is just something I am aware of. I see you mentioned 30 visits per year for yourself. Years ago in therapy I did with my T I was seeing him 3 hours a week. It got to be too much. I realized a year ago that I lived my 20s in a therapists office. Not in any relationships with anyone make. It was as if he fulfilled that "male" figure in my life. At times he was a mother, a sister, a brother, a bf (no I wasnt attracted to him). I am just questioning if the fact that he is retired and is still in contact with me. This leaves me feeling "stuck" in my life.
Thank you again Sharon.
