You don't trust your intuition, but in this case you have better gut instincts than you think. LCM makes you feel cared about while TT leaves you kinda cold. That is a good emotional reaction to pay attention to, not dismiss.

It may not be a perfect time to switch TT's, but it just makes me think of my early therapy days when I stayed way too long with a T that was a bad fit for me. He was not an unkind person, just unemotional and quiet. I needed a warmer personality.

I wouldn't up and quit TT but it would help to be honest with TT that you are worried about your partnership being the right fit. She may even make adjustments in her style to fit your needs.

Having the right T makes a world of difference.

Sorry about your living situation. Best not to take it personally--who knows what they were told!
