JS - I don't dislike you either.

SM - I think it is quite possible that another therapist could possibly help where this one cannot. Sometimes we can hear something from someone else better - like if one friend and then a different acquaintance could tell me the same thing and I would only hear the acquaintance clearly - sort of idea. The two I see say about the same things at times but the second one says it in a way that I don't want to take and beat her into the sidewalk whereas the first I (until I made her stop talking altogether) said it in a way that was not conducive to me listening. (I don't usually agree with either - but that is beside the point.) So perhaps a break from this one and explore a different one could be useful. I don't think one has to make a complete break with the one you see know - I have found them to not get upset if a client says I think I need to see someone else for awhile or for this specific thing or whatever and then go back to the original
