No, not all of them dislike talking about previous therapists. I just meant that the cognitive behavioral therapist I saw wasn't too keen on going there with me. So I dropped that. It's probably just an individual quirk...Something I would vet, though, in your intake with a prospective new T!

There's that cooling off period as Wikid Pissah mentioned.. how funny by the way, three months sounds just right. I am not that creative right now to be able to figure out an answer to how to deal with that. Well maybe I will book a first session and try. Can you just try anyway?

By the way my sister and her family were just sharing some pictures of Disney Land and I realized, it's a whole world devoted to a fictional mouse, so I am starting to cut myself a break about the whole missing the therapist thing.
Thanks for this!
