Recharging

I asked my therapist to sign me up with a poly therapist and she basically said I didn't need one because everybody in my relationships knew. But I do. Coming out isn't the end, it's the beginning.

I told her I had a lot of "how" questions. I had to explain that this isn't a choice for me. And I told her about the time my bf asked me when I chose to be poly and I couldn't answer, because I didn't choose this.

Yesterday I went to the office. and asked the receptionist to transfer me. It was hard for me. I stressed all weekend about it. Going in there and saying words like polyamorous in front of strangers was horrifying.

The receptionist gave me a number to call. When I tried it rang forever and then hung up. So I went back. By the end of the day I had an appointment to meet with a therapist with experience in people with polyamory.

I spent so much emotional energy on this. I'm recharging today.
 
Hi abnormal,

I'm glad you were finally able to get a therapist with poly experience. Sorry it was such an ordeal, I don't blame you for needing to recharge. Your original therapist obviously didn't understand how important and integral this was for you. You were right to persist in that area.

Regards,
Kevin T.
