Jexa, I'm glad that you like the new T ! Her office sounds really inviting and comfortable.
I'm glad you have found a way to tolerate your post session discomfort with good reassuring thoughts that this is new and it only feels uncomfortable right now, and it will get better.

You really are very strong to be able to do this while mourning and missing your old T. I'll bet she would be so proud of your being open and honest in your very first session!!
