I've not been with my T very long.... but I went to her with blind faith...no referrals, could find no reviews online, just her website, and she met the criteria I required.
1. Female
2. Older than me... and
3. Had to be a relatively convenient drive
That narrowed people down considerably. Never even heard her voice prior to my first appointment, it was all through Emails. I have to say I am extremely happy with trusting my gut....because I think we hit it off right from the start. I feel that way anyway...and quite sure she does.
But at my age, nearly halfway through my life, I really feel guilty for not having faith in her to help me change. We'll see where this goes, and we're really still in the "getting to know each other" phase. Once she returns from vacation, I will be seeing her twice a week.
I just feel so set in my ways. I would need a complete change in personality.... and I just don't see that happening. I'm trying to have faith in her. I DO trust her. And for not being an easy person to open up to people, I've opened up with her quite quickly. She's got me figured out. It's almost scary the things she's come up with...it's as if she knows me better than I know myself. But change. I'm afraid I'll be in therapy forever, and still won't become the person I'd like to be. I'm willing to put in the effort...to try....
