What did you talk about to build that trust? The bond or connection with your T? Was it something they opened up about themselves? Or was it just comfortable right from the start? Do you always feel that connection or do you feel distant at times?
I ask because there are times when I feel at ease with my T. I will just talk. But then there are times when I don't feel connected at all. I don't know why I have felt like that.

I felt very comfortable with my tdoc from the very start. I've always been most comfortable with a male therapist. I have found that female therapists are to mushy for me. I need the straightforwardness and no-nonsense that I've always found in my male therapists. I'm an extremely stubborn person and I need to be pushed, sometimes quite hard, to make progress. None of this soft touch, lollygagging around for me.
I've tried two female therapists who I felt were just not direct enough for me. I like a very direct therapist who challenges my irrational thinking.
