Thanks for the cheering section. It really helps. It lets me know that other people think I'm doing the right thing.
I met with my pdoc today. He sits across the hall from my therapist, and they talk (she uses him when she needs a consult, for example). I told him I wanted to be sure that I wasn't running away, that it wouldn't be more productive to stay and work this out with her. He said I should leave. He's the only one who knows both sides of the story. He will remain my pdoc.
So it is time for me to jump in with both feet. It is such an important decision ('cause I know I'll be a long termer), it's kind of scary that I will be the only one who knows everything.
Mair, I liked how you put it: "she said I just didn't seem to "buy" anything she tried with CBT". I'm not sure I bought it, either. We did make a lot of progress over a long period of time, but I don't think most of it was really CBT.
Dinah, I have a friend who does EMDR if you have specific questions.
Trying to get the nerve up to make the first phone call...
