I’ve gone through more therapists than I can count and only a few I have made a meaningful connection with. Currently, I’ve been seeing the same therapist for a little less than a year. I’m much better than I was when we started - but I’m not sure if any of that could be attributed to her. 

I like how she is real with me, but none of what she says sticks with me. All of it goes in one ear and out the other. This is totally my fault, too, but I was thinking of possibly trying a different type of therapy like EDMR or DBT or literally anything other than CBT which has never worked for me.

On Wednesday, we had an appointment at 12, and she texted me at 9:30am: “Hi Ashley, I need to cancel
Today, my car is in the shop! I’m sorry about the late notice” And normally, that’s totally fine, but she’s cancelled before and used that same excuse. She also didn’t ask to reschedule or talk on the phone. It just makes me a bit upset. 

The only thing I’m worried about with switching therapists is how much the process sucks. Starting over and telling my story all over again is a pain. and what if they are worse than her? she isnt necessarily bad. im just not sure
