Hey Moon! I'm really proud of you that you got the courage to go see get another therapist. Wow. So, so hard, I know. What is it that you find intimidating about her? Have you been intimidated by past therapists? I'm just asking because there are so many reasons one could be intimidated by a therapists. Sometimes it's a personality thing. Sometimes it's the sheer intimidation of just being analysed; exposed. And I think a lot of times, the feeling of intimidation can be confused with the feeling of vulnerability. I know that (up until now) I have never felt intimidated by my T... only very, very vulnerable. Only very recently have I become a bit intimidated by his level of knowledge and skill. This is a weird thing that happens to me-- I get intimidated and insecure by people who are smarter than me, LOL. I know it's strange since I am just a beginning T and he has been one for a long time... so obviously his expertise is just a tad bit greater than mine, LOL... just a tad... haha.. but I have started to feel a bit intimidated. I intend to bring this up to him in the next session. Anyway, my whole point is for you to examine these feelings... and when your T returns, please share them with her. You have a lot of reason to be going through a whole mess of emotions now that you are on your 4th T. Since it will only be your 3rd session, get an early start and begin to work through these feelings! I have faith in you!

BTW, thank you for your PM the other day... I have been busy and didn't get a chance to answer. But I really appreciate you thinking of me.
