My T asked me to get rid of the online one and I did and did not regret it, despite the difficulty and embarrassment in "getting rid of" that T.

If your T's are for different types of therapy, I have had no trouble talking to one about the other but the one I'm talking to won't comment much since it's not their area of expertise. It's not any harder than talking to a therapist about your psychiatrist, or, in my case, my therapist about my group therapists. Therapy is about using sessions and the people in them to help ourselves so I don't know that venting to one therapist about the other helps anything? We need to address the person with whom we have the problem about the problem, not other people, the other people can't do anything for us, it's a different relationship.
not to be too nosy...but what was the difficulty and embarrassment of getting rid of the online T?

I'm trying to fire an online helper right now (some web stuff I'm doing) and I'm finding it exceedingly hard.

Can you pm me if nothing else?
