From a recent post >> Even starting with a new T after having spent a period of time working with someone else is a bit unnerving, because they all work somewhat differently
Very timely for me, as I am in just that spot right now.
At first meeting, new T has already said that therapy with her is going to be a bit different from what I have been used to
and when we entered her room & she said, sit anywhere, I said up front, it may not always be the same place, but for today...... here. (not closest to the door, but with a good view of the clock so it may have been her chair indeed, lol)
This time, I will try hard to get my questions out "in the moment" instead of asking myself 1000 times between this session and the next...
This time, I will work harder at giving T the benefit of the doubt before going ballistic… hopefully an easy goal as I don’t expect a lot of transference the second time out… 
And this time, I will try to be much more regular with journaling, and will try using the journal to experience & process what happened in session, & not just to record.
When you started with a new T - or as you are about to start with a new one – would you comment on what you want to be different, this time?
