ECHOES, no, you're not nuts! Change is hard and scary. Even though you have been dissatisfied with your T for some time, at least she is known and familiar.

This may be just me, but I have always been so uncomfortable when you said how your T wants only to do guided imagery and hypnosis and not talk to you or let you talk to her, despite your wishes. I know you got a lot of positive from the guided imagery, but it seemed like she just wasn't listening to you and forcing you to do a therapy that was not your choice. Now by telling her you may not be coming back, you forced her to see that your concerns were very important and serious, and she had the great phone talk with you. Maybe she learned something from it and will pay more attention to your needs now. So if you do have some aspects of a good relationship with this T, maybe it would be worth giving her a second chance and meeting with her again to see if she is more accommodating to what you want from therapy, rather than able to give only what she wants. I have a feeling that when you see her again, it will become clearer as to whether she really can change and provide you with what you want and need.

And it can't hurt to see the new analytical T also to see if you like her.
