Bad Luck Fairy

[tuesday_morning]

I think I might have a bad luck fairy following me around and causing me issues. I haven't gotten any callbacks on the multiple jobs that I interviewed for, and when it comes to therapy, I got some bad news last week. My therapist is taking a step back from private practice due to some family issues that have come up. It's going to be for 3-6 months, and so I got referred to another therapist in the meantime... but I don't think that arrangement will work out in the long-term. She's not that skilled when it comes to DBT and personality disorders, and she also is reportedly uncomfortable with discussing sex and sexuality topics. That's a major red flag for me, especially considering the type of traumas that I'm working with. So I'm currently looking for another therapist on my own. Thankfully, teletherapy exists, because there aren't many therapists in my area that are experienced in the areas I need them to be, and the ones who are aren't accepting any new patients at this time.

I found one therapist that is trauma-informed and trained in IFS, EMDR, and DBT. She does teletherapy in my state of residence, and it looks like she's accepting new clients right now. So I'm going to see if perhaps she'll accept my insurance and be willing to take me on as a client. It's not going to be the same as being in an office when getting my therapy, but this is better than nothing I guess. Besides, while teletherapy has its downsides, I think it's more convenient when it comes to me getting to my sessions on time. Maybe this is for the best, in that case... still, it's just my luck that I would lose my original therapist right now.

That's rough! I sure hope you're able to find a job.

It's also hard to lose a connection to a therapist that you've connected with. It always takes time to build that trust relationship with a new therapist. I sure hope you're able to find someone that can help with your specific needs. Therapy can literally be a lifesaver.
