The wound is emotional, though, so your intellect can work against you. I guess I'm just saying that I understand your dilemma. The thing I would do, though, is directly address this with the referral therapist in person and then gauge your feelings and thoughts about it.

If I see her once, I'm not going to be able to stop myself from going back, and I KNOW that...but I guess in a more practical sense, this T charges $150 per hour and has no availability for an initial session until the second week of July, so if I decided to see her and then see how I feel, I might spend $150 for no reason, and also if I wait until July, I will have already ended with current T (most likely) and might then be stuck without a T for awhile. Part of me thinks I did a consult with another T the other day who I really liked and whose theoretical approach fits mine and maybe I should just see her (and we could start over the next week or two), and that seems like a good and logical choice, but I just can't get the thought of seeing referral T out of my head!!!!!!
