The major reason I decided not to interview other therapists after my initial session was that he already started articulating some of the unspoken stuff hanging out in the room. I'm paying a therapist to help me understand myself better and though I want to figure a lot of it out myself, I assume that to do help me do this he needs to have some idea of what's at least potentially there. On the flip side, if I thought my therapist thought they knew me better than I do and never checked things out with me I'd be out of there faster than you can say "arrogant". Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Shorter version: if my therapist only knew what I know I could just journal and keep the co-pays.

I haven't been going to my therapist that long but he listens and sometimes make connections that didn't occur to me so I think it's on track.
