Hey!
So my question is: is this a good psychological therapy for me right now?
I have been seeing this therapist for a bit less than a year, but only sporadically, like once every three weeks.
I have been in longer treatments before. I started this one after a complicated psychedelic session, as he is experienced in the field.
This is talk therapy. Problem is, I have been diagnosed with OCD and I sometimes feel it can be counterproductive. My tendency is to think, endlessly, about certain things and I feel this is not understood by many therapists when they bring issues to the session. Although I also know I don't handle well my emotions when they are about these delicate things. I am worried about him sometimes just guessing things or making temporary hypothesis, not realising this could be food for my obsessive brain. He tries really hard and is committed, I like him, but I don't know if he can really help me. Been through CBT before, it worked amazingly, but it all got messy after the psychedelics. I am kinda lost as to know what treatment to follow otherwise or what to do. Just wondering if it's convenient to continue this current work.
Thanks a lot!
