I never talk about one with the other. I may bring up the same subject matter at times, but never the other therapist. They each have strengths and weaknesses and I try to remember what each of them can handle and what each sucks at.

I started interviewing a lot of them after I started seeing the first one (when she refused to explain what was supposed to happen in therapy) to see what differences there might be and because the first one would mention but not describe what a good fit was. The second one is the only one out of around 30 I interviewed that I went back to for a second appointment. I just never stopped seeing the first one and then just never went to the bother to choose between the two. Having two different ones just seemed to work for me and so I have been seeing two for about 4 years. I like comparing how they do things, it gives me more info to choose from, and it fascinates me to go in and tell them the exact same thing in the exact same way and get completely opposite responses. It is also interesting that one has said I am a challenge and the other says I am a delightful client. I don't know why either felt the need to tell those things -but they did.
