I met my new OCD therapist yesterday (I still see my therapist from school too) and it went ok. He's a guy which I don't like, I wanted another female therapist but this guy takes my insurance and specializes in OCD so it is what it is. I saw my first OCD therapist for four sessions before ending it because I didn't click with him. So my regular therapist still wanted me to try a new OCD therapist.

Kinda confusing but basically I see a female therapist and she wanted me to see an OCD therapist in addition. So I saw one for four sessions, ended it, and now I'm trying a new OCD therapist.

The session with this guy went ok, he seems really nice and stuff. We did these breathing exercises where I closes my eyes and he said some soothing things. I just didn't feel like it helped, I'm sure that would help a lot of people, I'd never tried anything like that before, but I felt like it felt weird having a guy say soothing stuff to me. I don't want to sound ignorant, I'd feel much more comfortable with a woman doing that than a man. It was pretty awkward but I really tried to have an open mind and give him a chance. He suggested a book too which I'll get from the library. I'll probably give him three more appointments but I'm not confident that it'll work. I can only click with my non OCD therapist. She is great, I like her style, I love her, and that's just the way it is. I don't think any other therapists will work.
