I just started anxiety medication about 3 months ago so I feel that I am ready to get into deeper conversations. I see a therapist at college who I have been working with for 2 years at school and I have really felt improvement since working with her. The therapist that I want to stop seeing is one near my home. What do I tell her. how do I start the conversation of wanting to switch?

Hi there,
can I just ask if you were seeing both therapists at the same time? I ask as it's not usually recommended that someone see two therapists at the same period of time, as it can sometimes mean the client gets conflicting messages from each therapist as often therapists work differently.
Would it be possible that you took charge of the session and decided what you wanted to talk about and how deep you went with the subjects you want to talk about? Or is there a real need to be pushed because you find it hard to talk? You could tell your therapist that you want to get a bit deeper into things and tell her you need her to help you do that.
I an not sure if I am understanding you right, do you mean that you want to switch to the therapist you see at school? My concern if this is the case is - what happens when you leave school or during school vaccations etc?
all the best
