My T is on vacation this week. I typically see her twice a week. She set up an appointment for me with another T in her group in case I needed it. I’m not crisis-y or panicked or struggling (which can be the case, hence the motivation for the backup appointment). Instead I have the opportunity to see someone else just for a session.

I’m excited by the idea of talking to someone different, but I can’t think of what to talk about. It seems I could talk about anything superficial (clarification on DBT stuff, self-confidence, a current issue in a relationship, help with job interviewing skills) or I could delve into some deeper things that don’t require a whole lot of background (help with grieving, relationship with eating, etc.). It seems it never hurts to get someone else's ideas on a topic.

Of course, I can’t get the answer from any of you without listing out all my issues, but if you could meet with another T for just one session, what would you talk about? I’m hoping to glean some ideas from any responses.

Thanks!
