Hi and welcome!! I am pretty new as well, and am glad that you also decided to stop lurking.

I can sort of relate to what you have described....but maybe in a smaller way??? I saw a T for about a year way back before I began with the T who I am currently with. He was very available to me....like, would let me call him at home until 11pm at night if I needed too. He also had a phone in his office that we could call if it was an emergency, and he would interrupt session to answer it. My current T (the one I switched too) has much more rigid boundaries. He does allow phone calls but only during certain times (unless it is a crazy emergency). He also is just much less available, which was a hard adjustment for me. I do think that he is an excellent therapist, though, and so I sort of just take the good with the bad, knowing that the positive outweighs the negative, so to speak. I will add, that he has become much warmer as time has progressed.

Good luck with this new T. Feel free to share more about the experience and transition here!
