Hi everyone! Well on Friday I saw my T. Things went amazingly well! I came up wtih a plan and he totally agreed with it. Last week I finally came to the decision that maybe I need another T. I don't want to leave my T and it brings up all this abandonment crap. anyways, we are giving our therapy relationship 30 days and we will work on interpersonal effectiveness every week for the next month! we talked about a lot of stuff and i realize that he cannot hold everything and be the only T helping me as I prepare for gastric bypass surgery. so the end result is that this really cool T (J) at the bariatric program is going to see me every 2 weeks to work on food-related behaviors etc. and my T (R) will do DBT with me. together we should all be very successful and i feel very confident that i won't have to leave my T, but in the event that I need to leave, J will set me up with a specialist who does Bariatric DBT stuff (specific to surgery), and R promises that he would take me back when i am done with my surgery and am on the road to recovery. so now I have even more support and i feel great about it! R and I believe we can work things out now. but i had to be the adult that i am and step up and make some decisions/plans for myself for the first time in a long time.
oh and I might have a job! I had the best interview I have had in 2 years! and the pay is SWEET! more than what i asked for! so things are improving for me. thanks for reading this!
smiles, Roo

That is all GREAT news, Roo! I am so happy for you!

Wow, Roo, that sounds wonderful. I'm glad you're going to be able to get some good support. And *good for you* for speaking up to R and being honest and clear about what your needs are, and working out a solid plan. That takes some fortitude, and you did a great job.
And speaking of jobs, I hope your good interview pays off and you're hired soon!

thank you so much! I do feel good about how i handled the therapy session last week. I went to therapy yesterday and we started working on interpersonal effectiveness.
