BlueMoon,
I'm glad the flat tire t was able to work you into her schedule this week. To me this says a lot about how she views her clients in general. You want a T that appreciates how scheduling problems affect stress out people. I'm not sure how comfortable you are with jumping right into issues with this new t. But you might want to fill her in on how you tend to perceive appointment cancellations and the feeling your having about trusting that people care about you. You might not at this point provide a lot of details but maybe at least say, "Wow, I was really glad that you called me back and were able to fit me in this week. I've had a lot of people cancel appointments on me lately and I'm starting to think......" This will at the very least let her know that consistency is a big thing for you at the moment.

The only reason I say this is because I had a lot of trust issues to work through with my T that I don't think she ever really picked up on until WELL into my therapy. Once they finally surfaced, my T seem to deal with me differently--in a good way.

I hope everything goes well with your flat tire t. The other one doesn't seem to understand that she is feeding your mental noise and not helping you address it.
