For me, I too had to go through about six t's before i found one that really worked and i connected too. And actually my son's pediatrician recommended him.. I personally think you gotta have some sort of connection somehow in order for you to progress or even want to continue to try. Current t (ten years) and i have a connection; at least in my mind. He has said to me alot " I like you and I care about you" and all i could think was that is because you don't know me yet... and now years, later.. he is still my t AND sometimes i still have a hard time believing him when he says stuff like that last session he told me i was "worthwhile" i have been hanging on to that for months now!
