Elliemay... did you understand your goals and treatment plan with your old T? or like me did you just show up and it happened? I'm asking this because maybe you have another option. Maybe you could contact your old T and find out what his approach was to treating you...was it psychodynamic therapy or CBT or etc.? What did he think you accomplished as goals? and what did he think you still needed to work on?

Because I think as a professional accountant... I do not need to have another accountant tell me how to be an accountant... but I would need my client to be able to tell me what services they want provided? tax returns, audit of financial statements, etc...

So maybe if would go over better, if you had an understanding of what worked for you in the past...type of therapy...goals, etc. than you could tell new T yourself what you need.

But if none of that applies maybe you need to ask yourself if you are just wanting this T to be old T.... it will be a new relationship ...he won't be able to replicate that.
