Thanks for being supportive.
Yeah, this is my first time in therapy, and so of course I have NO idea what to expect. I'm already thinking of what my conversation is going to entail for next weeks session, and then I'll go from there. I've been tossing around the idea of calling another t, but as I said, it's just so friggin' exhausting to make the call, go in for the "first" appt, give your background, then try to trust them.....you know what I'm talking about.
But then again, after you found a t that you clicked really well with, did you actually look forward to going each week? 'Cause I'm not at that point yet, and I can't decide if it's because of my t or because of therapy in general.

I think finding someone else you click with might be what you need. OR you could try asking him and see what happens. If in a couple/few sessions things aren't getting better than maybe it will be time to move on. I started therapy 10yrs ago and stayed with the first one for two years. Since then I've seen a couple different ones and never felt any connection until my current one. I knew at the first session that she was the one. It's amazing how different therapy is when you and your T are able to work together and click with each other.
