kitty, different people have different needs in a therapist...the fact that your old therapist did not suit you is in no way a failure...if anything, it may be considered a failure on her part, because it is the responsibility of a therapist to suggest a change if they realize they are not connecting with a patient.

I'm so glad to hear that you feel more of a connection with the new person. I hope all continues to go well for you.
