My first session with the therapist I am seeing now was a NIGHTMARE. It was probably the worst doctors visit I have been to (and I've been to quite a lot). I hated her and I hated her techniques and I hated everything about it. I came back though, and as we began to establish boundaries and get on the same page about what we each were trying to get out of our sessions, our working relationship began to grow and it became more bearable. I will say though that our relationship still isn't great (after being with her for almost 6 months) and that I am trying to figure out a plan for termination, but I was able to get the treatment that I needed with her and that's what matters.
I guess my advice is to give it time. Therapists are not always going to work for every person and it may just be that this one isn't for you. I would give it a good try though and if it still isn't right, seek another professional. But don't give up. There is someone out there who will be good for you. Sometimes its just a matter of trial and error.
