Can you try someone else?

I absolutely agree. Therapy has made a huge difference in my life. I've recovered from an eating disorder and made many gains in living my life more effectively, dealing with anxiety & depression, and am working on my core beliefs. However, as someone who's seen somewhere between 5 and 10 therapists, the ones I remember are the ones I had a strong connection with. The others didn't make much of a difference or much of an impression and I didn't feel the need to continue with any of those. When I first met my current T through a group setting, I knew very quickly that it would be an good fit. And a year and half later, I'm still working with her and making tons of progress.
