Hey Echoes,
I'm really glad that you had a good chat with your therapist and that she was so understanding about your seeing another therapist. I'm also really pleased that she didn't try and talk you out of it and that she said she would be happy to keep working with you whether you start working with the other therapist or not.
I figure that... It will take a bit of time... But that after a while you will know what is best for you to keep on with. Sounds like you have had some really good discussions with your therapist but that you do have different ideas on whether the focus should be more on the imagery or more on the discussions. I'm glad she explained her rationale to you and that you could see where she was coming from. I guess that time will tell whether this other therapist has a way of working that seems to fit you better or whether you are in more of a position to embrace your current therapists way of doing things.
You don't have to decide yet. You could tell this new person that you are unsure... Most of my life I haven't had a decision about who I worked with I just had to work with whoever I was seeing or see nobody at all. This time I did get to choose, however. I think that because of my having the choice I'm a lot more of a willing participant in the process than I've ever been before. There is something empowering about that :-)
