I'm glad you found a new T. Whatever the T's approach, I would encourage you to take more responsibility for what you talk about at your sessions. How is it that you talked about insignificant things or chit chat when you didn't want to? It takes two to have a conversation on those things. So if you want significance, go for it! Best of luck.

I agree with others that you don't have to repeat your whole story to the new T. You can just begin where you are. I have seen a couple of different Ts and there was just about no overlap with what we discussed.
