Changing therapists

[MrsNutkin]

I'm getting nowhere but I've been with current person a few years. I don't think I can be bothered to start over with someone new.

I suppose I'd have to end it with my current NHS CAMHS team before I thought about private care.

I just can't take it anymore

I've been to about 5 persons (not couting IP treatment)over the past couple of years andonly just found someone who I feel helps me...

So it's worth while looking for someone new, eventhough it's hard at first when you have to start over again.

I didn't finish it with CAMHs before private treatment...I needed to find out if private treatment helped and it didn't,(they kicked me out) so I went back to CAMHs without a waiting for weeks...sorry if that was no help...xx

Hey Darling,

I can understand why you feel relunctant to start work with a new therapist. For me personally I've found it daunting and it is hard work starting afresh as the person doesn't know you and you don't know them but there are also so many positives! Seeing as your current therapist isn't working, what do you stand to lose if you don't change therapist? You could be so much happier and get so much sorted if you make this change now, even though initially it might make things harder for you. It's very difficult to find the right therapist and it often takes a few goes but I hope you get there because it'll be worth it when you do,

Take Care,
