I am so pleased for you!! She should be proud of the work that she did with you, that you could handle this so maturely. And it sounds like you're trying to be very sensible and systematic about finding a new therapist as well.
Wow. I hope if the situation ever comes up, I can handle it as well as you did.
I'm no help with type of therapy, I'm afraid. My therapist is also CBT by nature, but like Mair's discovered that wasn't the best style for me. He mainly does CBT and reparenting, with some counselling thrown in. He's more directive than a lot of therapists, I think. But then, my therapy is supportive in nature to a certain extent. A lot of the emphasis is just keeping me stable, sort of like diabetes and insulin. I've been leaning towards getting some outside EMDR sessions, but some of what I've read on the internet seems to indicate that it might be a bit too destabilizing for me.
I'd love to hear about your explorations in types of therapy.
Good luck, and congratulations on a difficult task well done.
