A lot of us have therapists.
A lot of us have had more than one therapist. So far I’ve had 4, and although
they were all really nice, some I respect and like more than others. I think
one of the most heart-melting things is when a therapist goes out of her way to
do something for you. For example, one of my therapists over the summer had
classes all day (you do them periodically to keep up with treatments and stuff)
but she drove back to her office just to meet with me. That really made me
appreciate her, because she was willing to take an extra step to treat me. The
therapist I have now I only meet with online, but she took the time to respond
to every single post I made about automatic thoughts. I’ve met her in person in
outpatient treatment over the summer, so I know how busy she is, and I think it
was really telling that she put in extra work for me.
I
guess people who do therapy should want to take those extra steps because that’s
why they went into therapy, but not everyone does.
Do you have
any stories about nice things your therapist did for you? I’d like to hear
them. J
Wow... That is really nice of both of them. I actually don't see a therapist but that is something to think about if I ever do have one.

I have seen my fair share of therapists over the years, ranging from the weird to the wonderful. My therapist at the moment is the best one yet. She helps me so much with not just my eating disorder but with life. She has an answer and an explanation for everything and she always sees the positive. I am blesses to have her in my life.
