I hear you with making T laugh. Laughter and being a smart @$$ is my coping mechanism when I'm nervous or uncomfortable. My T and I would spend more than half our session laughing and this new T I just saw in my new town laughed as well so that's promising.

To be honest LLT, some of my biggest fears when I just moved was that I wouldn't be able to find a T in my new town that I had that feeling about that I just wanted to pack her up and take her with me. I felt like everyone in the new town was going to be cold and just miserable. So far the pdoc appt was a nightmare but the T I saw for an intake assessment at a new place was overall pretty good. Maybe you could talk to your T about that, about feeling like you want to take her with you and fearing you won't be able to find someone in the new place that you feel like that about. Honestly, more than I was ervous about finding a job or settling in to the new house, I was scared about finding new treatment. It's something I wish I would have discussed with my T but I never did. Just a thought.
