Oh yes that's much different! I did take it to mean one therapist right after the other. I had a therapist who would nod her head and say "mm-hmm" every 20 seconds or so, regardless of whether or had just said something or not. It was not only distracting but made me feel like she wasn't listening at all. I ended up switching over to her supervisor, someone with more experience who I liked much more. There are a *lot* therapists out there and some of them frankly, s*ck. Someone has to be last in the class, you know? Not to mention taking 3 or 4 times to pass licensing exams...
