Remember that you are in control. Just because your T asks you a question doesn't mean you have to answer it if you're not ready or if you feel uncomfortable. It's great that your new T wants to know more details to help you more, but don't feel pressured to provide any details yet that you don't want to discuss - take it at your own pace. And if you want to be totally honest with T, simply tell him that you're not yet comfortable enough to talk about a certain subject - then maybe you and T can discuss what might make you more comfortable. Good luck!
No I did'nt get to choose him. He is only one of four in my area that accepts my insurance. And the other three were filled up until next year because one of the popular psychatrists was retiring. I like this doctor. It's just I have never had a male psychiatrist before.
