[quote=Miswimmy1;3239104]Yep- title says it all. I am just getting the sense that no one likes my new t. I had an appointment with my pdoc today, and she was totally unfazed by the things that I was saying about not getting along with new t. She basically said that she had shared clients with her in the past (my t doesn't prescribe meds) and that my t "does her own thing", adding sarcastically, "when you have a specific area of expertise, you don't need anyone else." I found that unsettling because one of my biggest complaints about my therapist is that she is too cocky and full of herself. This sort of confirmed by thoughts.

Going along with this, my old t didn't seem to have very good thoughts about this new t either... for those of you who followed my posts during the transition, my old t and my new t would basically trash the other during my sessions.

I was thinking about all of this, and it crossed my mind that my new t always tells me how important it is to stay up to date with all the newest research and stuff and make sure to consult with other professionals in the field, but never mentions anyone specific. And by that, I mean for instance that I asked my t for a referral. And she basically went through a list of names out loud... "Oh I could send you to X- oh wait we aren't friends anymore. Oh theres Y- oh but yeah, I don't talk to her anymore." Etc. I am now wondering if she is the reason why she doesn't stay connected to these people.

Could she be mirroring your relationships with your friends/ T´s etc. IRL. If she did say it like that, she sounded like a teenager, so perhaps she is trying that tecnique. My former T use to mirror my behaviour all the time. It´s just a thought.
