Soon after I started w/ my new T after ending w/ old T, new T said something like "It seems that you don't have too much more work to do." I was like, "NO! Can't you see how messed up I still am!" (OK, I didn't say that aloud, but her comment shook me some.) It was because I'd spent so much time talking about old T and didn't actually talk about what I wanted she and I to work on. This is completely normal and it's a transition. So then I went in with a list of goals and things were better. Still had to get used to her way... and I'd always learned from my parents that anything "different" from what I (rather they) knew meant "bad." Once I began to appreciate new T for who she was and the way that she did things (in particular, I missed the way that old T hugged me at the beginning and end of sessions - new T didn't hug for as long and didn't hug at the beginning), I saw that different was good and there was a lot I could learn from her. Indeed, I've learned 10x more from new T in 3/4 of the time together.
